An incredibly thoughtful piece by my dear friend and colleague @DebCohenPhD about the value of having a trusted #primarycare doc throughout life and the significant supply chain problem we have in America. Not enough primary care docs, sadly !

To anyone who feels the slightest bit abashed or stressed coming into a COVID vaccine site for your first dose, we are all so happy to see you. Even if you want to just walk in and talk to the clinical team with your questions and then decide. No judgment. No pressure.
