Credit Buffalo.edu Where you can get it right now is the mass vax sites at UB and in Niagara Falls and the county health departments. This week, Wahlgreens at multiple locations has Pfizer, said Nielsen, acknowledging the need to get the vaccine to make the vaccine more accessible. She pointed out some of the obstacles. Remember that Pfizer is the one that requires the ultra-cold storage so the usual doctors offices are not going to have it at this point, Nielsen explained.
As COVID-related restrictions are eased in New York State and across the country, health officials are watching the alarming numbers of young people infected by the virus. Dr. Nancy Nielsen, Senior Associate Dean for Health Policy at UB s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, reviewed the data during her weekly conversation with WBFO. At the start of the pandemic, children made up 3% of the cases; now, that number has risen to 22%.

Credit Buffalo.edu Anything that works to get people vaccinated is great as far as I m concerned, Nielsen said during her weekly appearance on WBFO.
Hard to find only a few weeks ago, vaccine appointments are now readily available. Some clinics are welcoming walk-ins as demand begins to fade. Incentives, Nielsen argues, have worked successfully elsewhere. Israel did this. They got to 90 percent vaccination. They re not wearing masks anymore.

If the vaccine was provided more than three weeks ago, Nielsen assures there are no concerns. More recent recipients should notify their physicians if they have symptoms of severe headache or severe abdominal pain nausea, vomiting, that sort of thing.
The Senior Associate Dean for Health Policy at UB s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences plans to watch unfolding analysis of the controversial vaccine. She shared some thoughts moving forward.
