Progress is being made in the fight to defeat Covid-19. Thirty-eight million Americans have received at least one dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and the daily rate of vaccinations now stands at a million and a half. There is still a vaccine availability problem in many states but the administration’s step to source 200 million additional doses of vaccine will improve that situation soon. As a result, there has been a drop of covid related hospitalizations in the nation. This has also been helped by Americans following advice in staying apart, wearing masks and limiting travel. The one serious issue remaining is vaccination hesitancy on part of many Americans to be vaccinated. That fear is really unfounded since side effects of both vaccines is minimal. I have received both doses of Pfizer and the experience was as normal as receiving any other routine shot. A recent Axios poll shows that Democrats are more likely to get vaccinated over Republicans. The variance between the two groups is about 20 percent. Unfortunately it appears that many Republicans had bought in to the previous administration’s message that the virus was less dangerous than it really is. However that seems to be changing as the nation approached 500000 Covid-19 deaths. We must all keep up our vigilance sine the enemy hasn’t been defeated but serious progress against it is being made. Stay safe and remain healthy!
