‘Everybody needs to step up and get a vaccine’: Cooper tours Gastonia clinics
Joe Bruno
Cooper’s first stop was at Gaston Medical Partners.
The almost two-year-old independent practice is vaccinating 100 patients a week with Moderna shots. Cooper said independent practices will be getting additional doses over the coming weeks. He hopes these providers with longstanding relationships with their patients will help convince hesitant people to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Who knows how much vaccine hesitancy you are able to overcome because you are getting them the shot and they trust you,” Cooper told Gaston Medical Partners.
Following his stop at Gaston Medical Partners, Cooper visited CaroMont Health where thousands of people are being vaccinated this week.
