His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The short-staffed agency has been inundated with COVID-related complaints. Between February and September of last year, it conducted \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2020/10/cal-osha-response-covid-complaints/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on-site inspections for only 5%\u003c/a> of almost 7,000 pandemic complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost half of Cal/OSHA’s citations to hospitals are directed at Kaiser. But it’s difficult to know for sure why Kaiser has been disciplined the most, said Laura Stock, director of the Labor Occupational Health Program at UC Berkeley. It could be its practices, but also its size, and its employees may be more willing to speak up about hazards, Stock said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there is a citation it’s probably because someone filed an OSHA complaint,” Stock said. “Kaiser is a unionized workplace and there are workers who are educated on these issues and really on top of these things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One violation labeled as “serious” in Cal/OSHA’s citation to Oakland Medical Center, for example, found that the hospital did not provide employees from an oncology unit with N95 respirators when they entered an area with patients confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19. The hospital also failed to ensure each employee passed a “fit test” to ensure employees’ respirators fit properly, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/citations/11.06.2020_Kaiser-Permanente-Oakland-Medical-Center_1474630.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the citation.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal/OSHA also found that Kaiser’s Redwood City Medical Center did not inform and train employees that surgical masks do not protect against inhalation of infectious aerosols — N95 respirators are needed instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaiser’s San Jose Medical Center failed to notify employees “with significant exposures in a reasonable timeframe” and didn’t provide a medical evaluation to those exposed, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/citations/11.23.2020-Kaiser-Foundation-Hospital-DBA-Kaiser-San-Jose-Medical-Center_1476073.pdf\">according to the citation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a later and separate incident, Santa Clara County fined the San Jose hospital $43,000 for not immediately reporting an outbreak in its emergency department on Christmas Day. \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/01/07/kaiser-san-jose-fined-43000-as-investigation-into-christmas-costume-covid-outbreak-continues/\">That incident\u003c/a> has been linked to an employee dressed in an air-powered inflatable tree costume, who was COVID positive but unaware of that. Kaiser is appealing that fine, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"kaiser, kaiser permanente, health\" label=\"Related Stories\"]Federal health guidance about COVID-19 safety has evolved throughout the pandemic. Yet California already had strict workplace safety rules in place for hospitals and other health settings that should have protected employees from the very beginning, even when little was known about the virus, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In spring 2009, California adopted the Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (ATD) standard. Under development for several years, it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5199.html\">unanimously approved\u003c/a> by the Cal/OSHA Standards Board soon after the first cases of the H1N1 virus were detected in the state. According to this \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5199.html\">ATD standard\u003c/a>, any novel or unknown pathogen is to be handled as if it could be transmitted by aerosols until proven otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is the only state in the country with this standard. And experts say this standard has helped Cal/OSHA hold health employers accountable during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s aerosol standard requires employers to provide personal protective equipment that protects against aerosols, train employees about this type of transmission and notify them of any possible exposure. This state standard went beyond early pandemic guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which didn’t formally acknowledge the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/scientific-brief-sars-cov-2.html\">airborne transmission\u003c/a> of coronavirus until October. For months, the federal agency focused on droplet transmission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special protection is required to protect against viruses that can transmit via smaller aerosolized particles. For example, in Cal/OSHA’s citation to Kaiser San Francisco, the agency notes that the hospital did not require employees to use \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/images/hcp/N95-infographic-What-Are-APR-508.png?noicon\">powered air-purifying respirators\u003c/a> during “high hazard” procedures that generate aerosols, like intubations. According to the ATD standard, N95 masks are not enough protection for those types of procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the San Leandro location, employees who were given powered air-purifying respirators were handed defective units held together by tape, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/citations/01.04.2021-Kaiser-Foundation-KaiserPermanenteSanLeandro_1479549.pdf\">according to the citation\u003c/a>. That same hospital also failed to investigate exposure incidents between May and August, the citation reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout most of last year, nurses and other health workers organized rallies and protests demanding more protection from Kaiser and other hospitals. Amy Arlund, an intensive care nurse at Kaiser Fresno Medical Center and member of the California Nurses Association, said nurses aren’t as interested in fines as they are in enforcement and improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She alleged that at her hospital, for example, when their battery-operated respirators break down, it’s hard to get replacements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of nurses are carrying around their own rolls of duct tape to put these things back together when they’re falling apart,” Arlund told CalMatters in November. “We use what we have way beyond its usage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employees at Kaiser Fresno have filed several complaints. Arlund said Cal/OSHA inspectors have visited her hospital, but as of Friday, no citations had been issued against Kaiser’s Fresno hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters COVID-19 coverage, translation and distribution is supported by generous grants from the Blue Shield of California Foundation, the California Wellness Foundation and the California Health Care Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Yet California already had strict workplace safety rules in place for hospitals and other health settings that should have protected employees from the very beginning, even when little was known about the virus, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In spring 2009, California adopted the Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (ATD) standard. Under development for several years, it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5199.html\">unanimously approved\u003c/a> by the Cal/OSHA Standards Board soon after the first cases of the H1N1 virus were detected in the state. According to this \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5199.html\">ATD standard\u003c/a>, any novel or unknown pathogen is to be handled as if it could be transmitted by aerosols until proven otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is the only state in the country with this standard. And experts say this standard has helped Cal/OSHA hold health employers accountable during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s aerosol standard requires employers to provide personal protective equipment that protects against aerosols, train employees about this type of transmission and notify them of any possible exposure. This state standard went beyond early pandemic guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which didn’t formally acknowledge the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/scientific-brief-sars-cov-2.html\">airborne transmission\u003c/a> of coronavirus until October. For months, the federal agency focused on droplet transmission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special protection is required to protect against viruses that can transmit via smaller aerosolized particles. For example, in Cal/OSHA’s citation to Kaiser San Francisco, the agency notes that the hospital did not require employees to use \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/images/hcp/N95-infographic-What-Are-APR-508.png?noicon\">powered air-purifying respirators\u003c/a> during “high hazard” procedures that generate aerosols, like intubations. According to the ATD standard, N95 masks are not enough protection for those types of procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the San Leandro location, employees who were given powered air-purifying respirators were handed defective units held together by tape, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/citations/01.04.2021-Kaiser-Foundation-KaiserPermanenteSanLeandro_1479549.pdf\">according to the citation\u003c/a>. That same hospital also failed to investigate exposure incidents between May and August, the citation reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout most of last year, nurses and other health workers organized rallies and protests demanding more protection from Kaiser and other hospitals. Amy Arlund, an intensive care nurse at Kaiser Fresno Medical Center and member of the California Nurses Association, said nurses aren’t as interested in fines as they are in enforcement and improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She alleged that at her hospital, for example, when their battery-operated respirators break down, it’s hard to get replacements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of nurses are carrying around their own rolls of duct tape to put these things back together when they’re falling apart,” Arlund told CalMatters in November. “We use what we have way beyond its usage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employees at Kaiser Fresno have filed several complaints. Arlund said Cal/OSHA inspectors have visited her hospital, but as of Friday, no citations had been issued against Kaiser’s Fresno hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the CDC's guidance could generate more confusion because the color codes it has in mind don’t match California’s four-tier system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the strongest statements on this topic yet from the CDC, the guidance states that “K-12 schools should be the last settings to close after all other mitigation measures in the community have been employed, and the first to reopen when they can do so safely. Schools should be prioritized for reopening and remaining open for in-person instruction over nonessential businesses and activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this strong statement, the new guidance leaves crucial decisions around vaccinations and testing as voluntary strategies that could be implemented at the discretion of local communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reinforcing what Gov. Gavin Newsom has been saying, the CDC says vaccinations “should not be considered a condition for reopening schools for in-person instruction.” It also does not require schools to do asymptomatic testing of staff and students, although it says that schools “may elect” to do so “as a strategy to identify cases and prevent secondary transmission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California educators try to digest the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/community/schools-childcare/K-12-Operational-Strategy-2021-2-12.pdf\">new, lengthy CDC guidelines\u003c/a>, they are also awaiting the outcome of negotiations between Gov. Newson and the Legislature regarding efforts to come up with a more robust school reopening plan. Key elements of Newsom’s “Safe Schools for All” plan are in limbo, after coming under intense criticism from a range of sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week ago, Newsom indicated that a revised strategy would be issued within days. But sources say that the negotiations have been intense, and difficult. As of 1 p.m Friday, no announcement had been made, and none appears to be forthcoming today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new CDC guidance for school reopening envisions a phased-in approach based on red, orange, yellow and blue tiers. In contrast, California’s tiers are purple, red, orange and yellow. Unlike California’s tiers, in which purple is the most restrictive category, and red somewhat less restrictive, red would be the most restrictive level under the CDC strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='education']Under the CDC plan, schools in the blue and yellow tiers could open for “full-in person instruction,” along with sports and extracurricular activities, as long as strict social distancing and masking practices are followed. In the orange tier, K-12 schools could also open, but in a more restricted way — either by having hybrid instruction, with some classes offered via distance learning, and others in person, or through what the CDC calls “reduced attendance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the red tier, middle and high school students would have to remain in a distance learning mode, unless schools “can strictly implement all mitigation strategies.” All sports and extracurricular activities would have to be carried out virtually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will take time and effort to sort out the differences in how the CDC and California define their various color codes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC uses similar measures to California in determining what color a district is assigned — the average rate of new infections and the test positivity rate. But the CDC’s definitions are slightly different. The CDC, for example, takes into account the weekly rate of new cases, while California looks at daily cases. A school would be in the CDC’s red tier, equivalent to California’s purple tier, if a community has more than 100 weekly new cases per 100,000, and a positive rate of over 10 percent. Under California’s system, a school is in the purple zone if there are more than seven new cases per day, and a positivity rating of 8%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another significant development, the California Department of Public Health has \u003ca href=\"https://maps.schools.covid19.ca.gov/public.html\">issued long-awaited information\u003c/a> on the extent to which local districts are offering in-person or remote instruction. The maps show that many districts are offering in-person instruction, but far fewer are doing so for middle schools, and even fewer for high school students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Under California’s system, a school is in the purple zone if there are more than seven new cases per day, and a positivity rating of 8%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another significant development, the California Department of Public Health has \u003ca href=\"https://maps.schools.covid19.ca.gov/public.html\">issued long-awaited information\u003c/a> on the extent to which local districts are offering in-person or remote instruction. The maps show that many districts are offering in-person instruction, but far fewer are doing so for middle schools, and even fewer for high school students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Scott understands how challenging learning online and at home has been for families like hers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s also teaching university classes online. In both cases, she has tried to prioritize the mental health and well-being of her children and her students, knowing that they can pick up their school work once those fundamental needs are met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/05/us/teachers-covid-schools-pandemic.html\">It has been a long, frustrating year\u003c/a>. Teachers are as tired as families. Many educators were not trained to teach online, and have had to learn new tools and techniques — while balancing the needs of their \u003cem>own\u003c/em> kids and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of us would prefer to be doing it this way,” says Scott. “And yet the conditions require it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think about the over 400,000 people who have died and I just remind myself how fortunate we are to be frustrated by not being able to get into the Zoom room,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott also points out that not only are Black and Latino families experiencing higher COVID-19 infection rates, proportionately, but their \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/health-equity/racial-ethnic-disparities/disparities-deaths.html\">rates of severe illness and death \u003c/a>are much higher as well. Some families have lost multiple loved ones, and haven’t even been able to grieve for them in the usual ways. She says these disparities are likely \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11858457/as-battle-over-reopening-san-francisco-schools-turns-ugly-equity-emerges-as-fault-line\">contributing to the racial divide between parents\u003c/a> calling for a return to in-person learning, and those who are more cautious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In cities like New York and Chicago, where in-person learning has been offered, Black and Latino families are much less likely to elect to return to in-person learning,” says Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One long-term effect on education in the Bay Area she sees may be higher private school enrollment, as wealthier parents opt out of the public school system, frustrated at what they perceive as a slow return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the political chaos of the last year has meant that there is a lot of very conflicting and confusing information about what constitutes a safe school reopening. And I think the problem is that we have not centralized that information,” says Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott points out that the pandemic is not the only big news from this year. The nation — and its schools — have been grappling with institutionalized racism, a contentious election and a violent mob of pro-Trump supporters \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/57205/how-to-talk-to-kids-about-the-riots-at-the-u-s-capitol\">taking over the U.S. Capitol building\u003c/a> on Jan. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Teachers and school leaders and children and families have been at the nexus of all of those things,” Scott says. “I am actually encouraged by the conversations that I have been a part of in my local community, about really wanting education to be more holistic, to be more humane — to really help students make sense of their world and to become informed democratic citizens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott says she hopes that as we emerge from this pandemic, we don’t forget that all the economic, healthf and emotional difficulties of this year will still be with teachers, kids and families. They are going to need support — and help weathering a storm that will continue long after everyone has been vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And I think the problem is that we have not centralized that information,” says Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott points out that the pandemic is not the only big news from this year. The nation — and its schools — have been grappling with institutionalized racism, a contentious election and a violent mob of pro-Trump supporters \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/57205/how-to-talk-to-kids-about-the-riots-at-the-u-s-capitol\">taking over the U.S. Capitol building\u003c/a> on Jan. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Teachers and school leaders and children and families have been at the nexus of all of those things,” Scott says. “I am actually encouraged by the conversations that I have been a part of in my local community, about really wanting education to be more holistic, to be more humane — to really help students make sense of their world and to become informed democratic citizens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott says she hopes that as we emerge from this pandemic, we don’t forget that all the economic, healthf and emotional difficulties of this year will still be with teachers, kids and families. They are going to need support — and help weathering a storm that will continue long after everyone has been vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's also banning false claims about vaccines in general that have long been in circulation despite being repeatedly debunked: that vaccines are toxic, dangerous or cause autism, that they are not effective, and that it's safer to get a disease than the vaccine meant to prevent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook says it will focus its enforcement on groups, pages and accounts that repeatedly violate this policy.

The voting information center Facebook rolled out ahead of the 2020 presidential election, which connected people with information on how and where to cast ballots, is also a model, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is also giving $120 million in ad credits to health ministries, United Nations agencies and other organizations to promote vaccine and health information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other tech companies are also highlighting information about vaccines.

But there’s some evidence to back up the anecdotal accounts that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines hurt less: There is a range in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines for needle size, and vaccine administrators may be opting for the smallest length and diameter within those limits in order not to waste any amount that clings to the needle, says Dr. \u003ca href=\"https://www.mayo.edu/research/faculty/virk-abinash-m-d/bio-00085382\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abinash Virk\u003c/a>, co-chair of the COVID vaccination allocation and distribution for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2769648/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Previous research\u003c/a> has shown that smaller needles are more tolerable, Weatherhead says.

Interestingly, I ran the trial clinic at Mayo Clinic for 17 years, and it was usually the young, very fit guys who were not doing well. For the most muscular, tough guys, here comes the needle and you hold on to them to make sure they don’t fall off the table.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what can the needle-phobic among us do to ease the experience? We asked Drs. Virks and Weatherhead for tips:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Look away\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re not a fan of needles, don’t watch, Weatherhead says. “Many do not like the look or feel of needles, so look away to quell fears and anxiety related to needles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, it’s fine to keep your eye on things if you tolerate shots well. “My 5-year-old loves to watch,” Weatherhead says. “It’s all personal. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable and confident to get this done, do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Don’t take a pain reliever beforehand (but afterward is fine if needed)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some research on other vaccines suggests there could be “a slight blunting of the immune response” in kids who took Tylenol before their shots, Dr. Virk says. Even though a different study of older adults did not back that up, most experts are erring on the safe side and recommending not to take any pain relievers beforehand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t want to be taking medicine you don’t need,” Weatherhead says. “If you develop symptoms afterward, then at that point it’s certainly OK to take some sort of pain relief to help control symptoms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Be honest with jittery offspring\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it’s your child who is nervous, the best strategy is honesty, Weatherhead says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Be honest with kids upfront that you’re going to get a vaccine that’s a shot in your arm, that it may hurt initially, but it’s helping your body get stronger to protect you from illnesses,” she says. “Give children honest answers. When they’re empowered around their own health, it’s really helpful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chill (metaphorically)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of potential pain, you don’t need to worry too much about whether your arm is tensed or relaxed, Weatherhead says, but “just being relaxed in general is helpful,” she says. If you relax your arm by your side, you’re less likely to flinch it or move it during the jab. That means the vaccinator can get the needle in and out in a flash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trust in nurses\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors are the first to admit that experienced nurses are expert at delivering painless jabs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nurses are definitely the most talented and very valued, especially in the pediatrician world,” Weatherhead says. “It does take some practice to be fluid and quick. There’s a little hand coordination and muscle memory. The faster and smoother you can do it, the less discomfort and more tolerable it will be to the patient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn’t to say that there is no pain associated with the COVID-19 vaccine, doctors stress. Most side effects, including arm pain, begin hours after the poke – that’s when the actual immune response begins. To prevent as much interference with daily activities as possible, there are a few things you can do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Offer your non-dominant arm\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine instructs your cells to mimic the spike proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to provoke an immune response. That will occur with equal efficiency in your left or right arm. But arm pain will likely be less annoying in your left arm if you’re right-handed and vice versa, says Weatherhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people will have some arm pain after getting the shot, Weatherhead stresses, and it’s really up to you which arm you’d rather experience it in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chill (literally)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you rely on ice to ease other types of pain, you can certainly try it for a shot.

(No nasal sprays thus far.) There’s no guarantee they’ll come to fruition, however, and doctors remind us that any pain associated with the vaccine is a fraction of what many people experience with COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, many people have never been so excited for a vaccine, and that may outweigh any fear of being poked. Few people are complaining about sore arms in the vaccination clinics Dr. Virk has seen. The word nurses used to describe the scene, she says?
