Should I Take the COVID Vaccine?


Listen Later

At the time of this recording, there were over 24-million reported COVID cases, over 400,000 deaths, and over 4,000 newly reported deaths according to the CDC. The Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines are officially being administered under emergency-use authorization. As such, every news channel, online newspaper, and social media platform is pumping out what consumers need to know.  This has left many of us confused and concerned on what is true about this vaccine and whether it is safe to take. During this show, I pull together Nevada's experts to discuss the two vaccines and frequently asked questions and concerns.
