Almost a third of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and the Biden Administration is aiming for 70% of the adult population in the U.S.  to have one shot, with 160 million fully vaccinated by July 4th. Dr. Ross McKinney is the Chief Scientific Officer for the Association of American. He addressed concerns regarding the side effects of the vaccines. 

 

McKinney offered some clarity regarding the CDC’s decision on wearing masks. 

 

One silver lining of the coronavirus pandemic, employees were encouraged to stay home when they felt sick. A move, McKinney says that in combination with wearing masks, and social distancing, drastically cut down on the transmission of the flu this year. For more information, visit VaccineWise.org.
