Should I get the COVID-19 immunization?

from Intellectual Medicine Hosted by Dr. Stephen Petteruti

Now that the immunization against COVID-19 has become available, people are questioning whether or not it is in their best interest to receive the vaccine. This episode explores the different factors that are worth considering as you contemplate your decision. It also reflects upon the ways to help your immune system work at its best should you choose to get vaccinated. As with most decisions regarding your body and health, the answer to the question rests as much on philosophy as it does on science. It also rests upon the risk/benefit analysis which is different for each person. Is it more important to your health, or the health of people you come in contact with? Which of these two objectives do you value the most? This episode invites you to reflect upon these perspectives as you contemplate the vaccine.
