The Gainesville Sun
Get vaccinated
I was more than surprised to read in Friday’s Sun that many front-line health care workers have declined vaccinations and that only 47% of the workforce at UF Health Shands Hospital has been vaccinated against the coronavirus. What are they thinking?
If they have not contracted COVID-19 during the past year, while being exposed to patients, they are very fortunate. That does not mean, however, that they will not contract the virus or unknowingly spread it to others in the future.
Most of the people I know have been poised in front of their computers or cradling their cellphones during the past few months, as they try to book appointments to be vaccinated. I strongly advocate the advice of physicians and scientists who say, “When your turn comes, take it!”
