A friendly reminder to always approach the topic of vaccinations with empathy. Hesitancy is complex & has many layers.
ie. this week, I've been receiving a lot of msgs from people scheduled for 1st or 2nd AstraZeneca vax. They want a vaccine but are SO anxious from the news 😔

Anxiety is also high in those who recently received their 1st dose & are now seeing headlines that have them on edge.
I am glad the potential rare side effect of clots has been so transparently shared by experts & media.
But all the more reason to be kind in our scicomm 💕

I've had anxiety forever (in the midst of finding a new therapist now!🎉), so I feel each one of these messages in my core.
This pandemic really sucks.
I hope through empathetic scicomm with culture + trauma-informed approaches to hesitancy we can end it sooner.
