Brian Howeyâs column, âA Year of COVIDâ (Tribune, March 8), contains some misinformation. I found troubling his comment that âin a few weeks, weâll be able to party with friends, visit family or safely go out to a bar or restaurant.â Not so fast. Even with the vaccine we can become infected and spread the virus.
We are far from the herd immunity that means we have the virus contained. âItâs not 100% so you still have to be smart,â said Dr. Clif Knight, of Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine. âIs your risk lower after vaccination, absolutely. Is your risk zero after vaccination, I donât believe so, I donât think you can say that.â

Pregnant Women & The Coronavirus Vaccine
INDIANAPOLIS There’s always an air of caution when it comes to what to do and what not to do during pregnancy.
This year, many pregnant and breastfeeding women face the question: should I get the coronavirus vaccine? One Hoosier mother has her answer.
Doctor Lana Dbeibo is an Infectious Disease Physician at IU Health and the Medical Director of Infection Prevention at Methodist Hospital.
She’s also a new mother, giving birth to her son just six-months ago. She got her coronavirus vaccine last week. Dr. Dbeibo tells WISH-TV that she’s confident in the safety of the vaccine.
