Vaccine “shaming?”

There’s been a noticeable shift this week where the supply-and-demand struggle that characterized the early COVID-19 vaccination effort is waning. At the same time, I’ve heard stories of people who appear young and healthy being shamed for getting vaccines because on the surface they don’t appear to belong in the eligible groups. If you’re one of those people who have experienced “vaccine shaming,” please reach out to me for a story we’re working on about this issue.

Stay healthy!
