In the past few weeks, COVID-19 vaccine uptake has slowed. Over 30% of the Texas population has received a vaccine, but we are still far from achieving herd immunity, and many people who received their first shot have not returned on time for their second shot. Learn more about the state of vaccination in Texas as well as strategies to help your patients feel comfortable with getting vaccinated. The presenters will also address common myths and answer your questions about the vaccines, from blood clots to the rumors about effects on fertility. Presenters
