The COVID-19 Vaccine: What We Know Right Now

I'M BACK!


I know that it has been awhile since I recorded a video blog, but I am back with another edition of Friday Morning Rounds! Today's topic: the latest on the COVID-19 vaccine. I encourage you to listen to today's video as I share some facts about the mRNA vaccines that are up for Emergency Use Authorization here in the U.S. this month.


As I have said before, an effective vaccine will be the fastest way for us to move past this pandemic. I plan to get vaccinated once the vaccine is available for my risk group (likely early 2021) and my wife is planning to be vaccinated later on in 2021 once the vaccine is available to the general public.

 
 

Gratitude For J. Michael Lane, Smallpox Vaccine Pioneer

Much gratitude to Dr. Lane (who passed away last week) for his efforts in leading the eradication of smallpox. He pioneered vaccine 💉 programs across the globe 🌎 and was a tireless advocate for inclusion. I remember reading about his work and that of so many others back in medical school. This was truly a different kind of CDC back then, but the collective efforts of Dr. Lane & his many colleagues across so many nations showed that humanity can and will defeat the scourge of deadly pathogens 🦠. So many great scientists, doctors, epidemiologists, and public health officials continue to look at the bigger picture and not just themselves. Eliminating smallpox was a huge achievement for mankind. You can read more about Dr. Lane here:

The untimely death of #ChadwickBoseman has spurred a call to revisit colorectal (or colon) cancer awareness and screening. In today’s edition of Friday Morning Rounds, I focus on the fact that Black Americans are disproportionately affected by this disease.
