Sam's Journey with COVID19 and the Race For a Vaccine

On this episode SAM, a registered nurse joins me to discuss COVID19 vaccines as well as her journey of contracting the coronavirus in March. The two vaccines we focus the most on are Moderna and Pfizer. We discuss the update of the two per their latest study results. We discuss our views and feelings about the vaccines as healthcare workers. Will we agree to take the vaccine when it becomes available? Tune in to find out and our reasons behind our choices.
