UNC doctor stresses urgency as some remain hesitant to receive vaccine
"Where we see higher vaccination, we see fewer diagnoses and fewer deaths, so I really feel like we're going to see it pick up some steam as people see its not so bad and we make it more convenient," Dr. David Wohl said.
Posted — Updated"The other thing in North Carolina is that it varies by where you live," Wohl said. "So, it’s not like it’s all 50% from the Outer Banks to the mountains, it’s different in different places."
But Elijah Richardson just got his shot and he says he’s glad he did.
"Honestly it feels good just knowing that I have that extra layer of protection against COVID-19, especially going back to college, just knowing I’m one step closer to getting protected."
"Hearing about some of the reaction that some people were having, there was definitely some hesitation, but I am glad that I went ahead and did it," Green said.
But, Wohl is confident that more people will start to get vaccinated.
"Where we see higher vaccination, we see fewer diagnoses and fewer deaths, so I really feel like we’re going to see it pick up some steam as people see its not so bad and we make it more convenient," he said.
He stresses now is a good opportunity to get vaccinated before those really bad variants come here.
