The doctor said he knew he looked like an idiot, standing outside his office holding a handmade sign announcing a âCOVID-19 vaccine.â
But ever since Dr. Rosier Dedwylderâs practice in Dahlgren started administering the vaccineâ50 shots every Monday from March 22 onâhe and his staff made sure every dose landed in an arm.
Then last week, someone canceled late in the day, and the staff scrambled to find a replacement. Dedwylder sees patients, not only from King George and neighboring Caroline and Westmoreland counties, but also those over the bridge in southern Maryland.
The notion of one dose going to waste struck the medical team particularly hard, especially with the news coming out of India. People were dying outside hospitals because oxygen wasnât available, and there were horrible photos of multiple victims of the virus being burned on funeral pyres. COVID-19 has claimed more than 3,000 victims there each day for the last week.
