“So many of my patients have asked about the safety of getting the vaccine and whether I would recommend it, so it was important for me to get the vaccine to show them how much I advocate everyone getting it when able.

“While it can make one feel mildly sick temporarily, the big picture is that it reduces risk of getting a severe infection and decreases contagion so we can beat this thing! So far, my only side effects are joy and giddiness. I am humbled to be a part of the beginning of the end of the pandemic.” ––Frances Wong, MD
