May 28—Fatima Malik has a masters degree in public health, but was wary of getting an initial COVID-19 vaccine shot. When she finally did, she found herself on the fence about getting the second one.
The Del Paso Heights resident had heard stories from friends about feeling sick after the second dose. She also wondered about the long-term effects of the vaccine, which had been developed in record time. It was only after her fiancé got his second shot without symptoms that she decided to do so as well.
