Over a year into the coronavirus pandemic, health care workers are continuing to battle infections.
As vaccination efforts intensified, those on the front lines, like Dr.Tim Martindale, knew getting vaccinated was the best way to keep himself safe as he treats his patients. It s still out there. We have much less, but I ve had patients with it last week. For me, with my thought of being close to death having had COVID a year ago, coming close to death, it was a slam dunk easy choice. I want the vaccine. I don t want to go through that again, he said.
