RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL)

It is sad that prior to COVID-19, most of us weren't allowed to give vaccinations. But that has changed in many states and on the national level. But according to the PM News poll, only 4% of us have become vaccinators, with a majority 65% saying they won't! Why not?
Yes, it may take some time away from your practice, but the benefits are many. Besides being the part of the solution, helping society, volunteering improves your name and that of your profession. Since joining my county's Medical Reserve Corps, I have met many other medical professionals and increased my referral base. It is win/win/win! Please consider reaching out to your local DOH (state, county) or hospital to see how you can help.
