Dear patients,
I strongly recommend that you take the Covid vaccine. Pfizer or Moderna are excellent. The new Delta variant is more contagious than Ebola and creates more severe disease than the previous Covid strains. Patients who are currently in the hospital suffering from Covid are those who are not vaccinated. While the vaccine does not prevent you from coming down with Covid it prevents most cases of severe illness and the need to be on a ventilator.

By not being vaccinated it increases the reservoir of Covid and therefore allow future mutations. There may be future mutations that are even more severe or or are not protected against by vaccination or cause more severe disease in children. Please go get yourself vaccinated for your own safety and that of the community around you.
