We had the chance to ask the tough questions we are all concerned about. From the safety of the vaccine to the assurance of getting the second shot. We wondered if one vaccine was doing better than another. Will the virus keep mutating? Will we need a shot every year? Will we ever see something close to pre-covid life anytime soon?
Dr. McDonough will answer all of these questions and more in his usual understandable and non-hyping and calming manner. Definitely worth a listen if your wondering about the vaccine in any shape or form.
