With the advent of the new vaccine, how would you describe the response in your patient population?

I just have people ask me what I have learned about the vaccine and if I will take it.

And, what, if anything, can be done to stimulate support for encouraging patients to receive the vaccine?

Education, education, education! Educate the importance of going to the doctor.
