Pfizer. Moderna. Operation Warp Speed. All successful. We have a vaccine against Covid-19.
Will you get vaccinated? I overheard a doctor today describe his misgivings about the vaccine. Too new. Do I want messenger RNA in my cells? Many are listening to him. Many are wondering.
I don’t wonder. If the vaccine is offered to me, I will take it.
Many of you know that I’ve already had Covid-19. Why would I even consider taking a new vaccine with unknown risks when I already have immunity.
Because I don’t know the risks of not taking one. My personal immunity may wane with time, perhaps substantially. My personal immunity may be limited.
As a chaplain I’m considered a frontline healthcare worker. I visit Covid-19 patients in their rooms, frequently. I’ll be offered — and will take — the vaccine.
