Vaccination hesitancy talks continue at Pine Island COVID-19 Task Force meeting

Discussions regarding vaccine hesitancy continued at last week’s May 17, meeting of the Pine Island Task Force. Dr. Daniel Hanley reported having “an embarrassment of riches” when it comes to the various COVID-19 vaccines on hand in his clinic.
“There’s a lot of hesitancy. We have a time crunch, because Moderna is frozen so they don’t expire until October, but the Johnson & Johnson shots are refrigerated only. They cannot be frozen,” said Hanley, likening the J&J vaccine to milk, which expires if you don’t use it.
