WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE — A team of medics at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base took to Facebook Live Thursday morning to discuss the installation’s vaccine rollout with both Wright-Patt airmen and the public. The goal of the symposium was to help viewers make an informed decision about the coronavirus vaccine and answer questions from beneficiaries about the effectiveness of the shot.
The panel of doctors on Thursday, all of whom had been vaccinated, had experience in the ICU of Wright-Patt Medical Center caring for critically ill COVID-19 patients. Maj. Evan Fisher, a nephrologist at the base, saw “scores” of patients who experienced impaired lung function or kidney function after contracting COVID-19.
