I see this daily: vaccine-hesitant patients fed misinformation is usually the biggest issue.
"60% of Americans aren’t getting the updated COVID vaccine: Here’s who’s opting out and why"
a majority of people are either concerned about the vaccine’s side effects, or simply don’t think it’s necessary anymore.
Actual Interaction:
Me: Would you like your Covid shot today?
Patient: You're not giving me that!
Me: I'm very sorry to hear that.
Patient: You're not giving it to me!
Me: I didn't say I was, just that I was sorry to hear.
Patient: You're still not giving it to me!
Me: A few interview questions later: Would you like your flu shot?
Patient: Sounds good.
