The COVID-19 vaccine is said to protect against variants but fear and hesitancy over the shot remain a problem for health leaders.WESH 2’s Gail Paschall Brown looked into if mixed messaging from the country's top leaders is adding to the confusion.Dr. Anthony Fauci believes it could be possible that Americans will be wearing masks into 2022, while President Joe Biden said he believes we will be approaching normalcy by the end of the year. “God-willing this Christmas will be different than last, but I can't make that commitment to you. There are other strains of the virus,” Biden said.WESH 2 spoke with Dr. Kristimarie Collman, the founder, physician and CEO of Prose Medical in Orlando.“I think people just want to know straightforward answers. They want direct concise responses,” Collman said.Collman said her patients want to know how long Americans will have to wear masks and if the vaccines that we have access to are working. "I have patients asking about vaccines: Are the current vaccines we have right now, are they effective, especially against the variance that we're seeing and thoughts about the new vaccine that are coming out. We have questions just about their access to these vaccines as well,” Collman said.Access, safety, and hesitancy were all addressed at the Orange County COVID-19 press conference Monday with AdventHealth's Chief Health Equity Officer Dr. Alric Simmonds."This vaccine -- the Moderna, Pfizer vaccine and probably soon-to-be the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, have been vetted and are very, very safe,” Simmonds said.Collman added that once someone gets the vaccine they still have to wear a mask and practice social distancing. “Our goal is to hopefully reach herd immunity,” Collman said.
While many people are hopeful the vaccine will allow them to plan for the future an Orlando couple that had hoped to take a cruise last year is searching for a refund they've been unable to get.
FAMU says the site is being opened as the state seeks to ramp up vaccine operations and combat vaccine hesitancy and skepticism among African Americans and other communities of color.
Jordon Cooper says Tuesday is like a dream come true.He and three other furloughed Orlando hotel employees were presented with full-ride scholarships to pursue an associate's degree at Valencia College.It's the American Hotel & Lodging Foundation's Empowering Youth Program scholarship."It's like winning the lottery and you find out you actually won and now I can go the school and follow my dream and now make sure all my dreams become reality,” Cooper said.Cooper, like other students, graduated from Second Harvest's Culinary Training Program. He landed his first job only to be furloughed because of the pandemic.The foundation partners with Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.“It's the first time our foundation has ever done something like this but what better time than now?” Shelly Weir said.Weir is the senior vice president of career development at American Hotel and Lodging Foundation."All of their tuition, all of their books, all of their supplies, all of their lab fees will all be covered by this scholarship,” Weir said.Each of the four students received a new laptop too.Cooper wants to get a restaurant management degree.“Anybody can cook from like a pack of ramen noodles, to hot dogs, to beignets, to lasagna. You can always learn how to cook no matter where you go. The hardest thing is learning now to do the business stuff because you can't sit there and watch someone do business,” Cooper said. “I'm going to try my best to use the skills that I'm planning on learning and the skills that I already know to better myself for the future and to give back to my community as well.”
