Worried about getting Covid Is anyone else facing this dilemma?
I was laid off in June as a MHSB QMHP-A...I've been in social work and the mental health field for 20 years. I am worried to go back to work because I am immune compromised. If I get covid, I'm a goner. Is anyone else facing this dilemma? Should I just wait it out until I can get the vaccine? #laidoff #covid #immune compromised
Excellent Question @Susan Culley ! I can see how you would be additionally hesitant to go back into a health services work environment with your particular health concern. I don't work in the healthcare industry but I find the news I've been following so somewhat confusing. Sufficient PPE continues to be an ongoing issue, particularly within the most affected states, (California, Texas and Florida) according to national news. @Michael Carvalho wrote about this recently and shared optimistic improvements in much needed PPE supplies within Greater Boston healthcare organizations.
How are you feeling about the new vaccine? Are you feeling more optimistic? Curious to hear your thoughts around this news and how you think these vaccinations will impact the recent uptick in covid-19 cases.
Hope all is well @Susan Culley . Please continue to Stay Safe & Happy Holidays!
If you’re in the medical field, you qualify to get your first vaccine now.
