Massachusetts Public Health Council member pledges to take COVID vaccine to show it’s safe
Updated Dec 10, 2020;
A doctor in the Massachusetts Public Health Council suggested the body join a growing number of top doctors and elected officials in the state in taking the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available to them — not only as a safety measure, but as an act of trust in the product developed in hopes of ending the coronavirus pandemic.
Dr. Michael Kneeland, who works at University of Massachusetts Medical School, said he’s often asked by friends outside of the medical field about whether he or his family would get the vaccine. He suggested the PHC members promote the vaccine by getting inoculated together.
