I have patient who is an 18 year old male who recovered from documented COVID & is being mandated to take 2 (?3🤔) mRNA vaccines
Can we as a profession appreciate our amazing tools & therapies (like vaccines) but still acknowledge the need for an individualized approach?
Can we as a profession appreciate our amazing tools & therapies (like vaccines) but still acknowledge the need for an individualized approach?
As a profession we need to be able to have honest and open discussions about the balance between population health and individualized approach.
YOU CAN STILL SUPPORT & APPRECIATE VACCINES & DO ALL OF THESE:
- acknowledge rare side effects
- acknowledge ideal populations/exceptions for a vaccine
- stand up for patient-physician shared decision-making
- not support coercive measures
Vaccines are STILL an amazing tool!

I would caution that if a government can force an 18 year old male patient with prior COVID to take a vaccine in the example above, what else can policymakers mandate?
What exception processes are in place that safeguard the needs of the individual against coercive measures?

(Please only honest discussions, spare me the extremism)
