Flu vaccination season has started at the clinic. So far, so good. [View all]

No anti-vaxxers yet. Most patients are coming in requesting their immunizations. One guy was hesitant, and I answered his questions and concerns. Then he got his immunization.

A couple of weeks ago, I treated a woman (not on my patient panel: her primary care provider was booked solid) for a URI. She was concerned that she had COVID. It turned out not to be, but I encouraged her to get vaccinated against it. She insisted that the COVID vaccine gives you myocarditis. I couldn’t talk her off that ledge. I don’t think she’ll be coming back to see me. That will save me the trouble of telling her to get vaccinated or get out.
