Hello colleagues,
Here we are again! It is Fall 2023, three-and-a-half years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. It can still be tricky knowing what to tell your patients about vaccines, especially COVID-19 vaccines. “To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?” – that is the question on everyone’s mind. See my blog for my thoughts and links to useful information that may help you decide what to tell your patients.
Note: Also see my blog on Preventive Immunizations and remind your patients to get their flu vaccines.
