BUFFALO, N.Y. 2 On Your Side is hearing from local doctors about the injury Patrick Mahomes suffered Sunday, against the Cleveland Browns in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
Mahomes was tackled around the neck area and forced to leave the game. Since then, he has been in the NFL s concussion protocol.
The medical director of Dent Neurologic Institute, Dr. Laszlo Mechtler, believes Patrick Mahomes suffered a concussion.
2 On Your Side heard from some frustrated viewers who were registered to get Moderna's COVID vaccine and had appointments, but were turned away at the last moment.
So far only 23 percent of those included in New York's Phase 1a vaccination plan, which is primarily made up of health care workers, have gotten the shot.
Even with more relief on the way to help those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, many federal lawmakers have said a lot more help will be needed next year.
