......found more than eight in 10 Americans would receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but 44% said they would wait a bit before getting it. Experts say that while it's understandable to be hesitant of a new vaccine, physicians like Dr. Caesar Djavaherian say patients don't need to wait.
“Historically with a vaccine, the terrible (serious adverse events) that we’re always worried about actually present themselves in a matter of weeks,” Djavaherian, an ER doctor who leads the pandemic response at Carbon Health, a national primary and urgent care provider.
“Your chances of getting sick or dying is much greater going to the grocery store than going to get a vaccine,” said Barry Bloom, research professor of public health and former dean of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
He said unneccesary waiting could stall the overall effectiveness of the vaccine, leading to more infections, deaths and strain on the health care system.
“We have to balance the very real odds of becoming critically ill from the virus versus the theoretical odds of long-term side effects that haven’t been discovered yet,” he said. “(There’s) a real need now … It’s hard to say, ‘Let’s wait.’”
Lol, that haven’t been discovered yet
