Dear Campus Community, I hope you are all doing well. With these messages, my goal is to provide updates on COVID-19, especially as it relates to UF, including our interpretation of the data we are collecting, commentary on new information, and a plain-spoken, fact-based assessment of where we think things…
On February 19, UF/IFAS Extension and Dr. Michael Lauzardo hosted a town hall for agricultural workers. They answered questions about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine. They also discussed how to talk about the vaccine with coworkers and family.
I would see it on TV and I said, "Oh, I can't do that." but it's not as bad as all that and don't go by what somebody else tell you, you come and do it for yourself and you'll know that it, it's not bad.
I'm 83, 82 years old, I'm high risk, high blood pressure, heart disease, and I want everything that I can get for my health.
Some people might be very leery about, you know, taking the vaccine or the needle, but it's, it's not painful.
The shot felt like a flu shot which I get every year, and there was no precautions, there was no after effects whatsoever. I encourage everybody to get that vaccination as soon as you can.
It was great; it felt nice to know that I got the vaccine and I can potentially influence others to get it as well and lower the COVID spread.
I believe in the safety and the effectiveness of the vaccine and that's what really pushed me to go ahead and do this as soon as possible.
Our faculty have worked almost non-stop for ten months, but today, in this next few months, really marks the time that we can start to impact this pandemic and hopefully envision a spring where we don't have COVID filling up our hospitals.
