Regardless of where you receive it, patients should talk with their physician about their individual treatment regimen and the vaccine. The safety of our patients, their caregivers, and our staff is our highest priority, and we encourage you to continue to wear face masks and practice social distancing. The vaccine roll out is rapidly changing. We will post updates here and on our website: http://bit.ly/2XieO1c
