Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
T1: People are hesitant to receive the Covid vaccine in part due to fear and in part due to lack of understanding as to how these types of treatments or vaccines are brought to market #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat T1: There are many reasons. Fear of the unknown could be one. It’s so new, the typical process was accelerated out of necessity, & that’s difficult for some to process. There’s also so many opinions floating around that it’s hard to keep straight sometimes. #patientchat
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
T1 b) I think there is fear in the speed in which these vaccines were launched w/o the understanding that the scientists behind them have been working on them for years #patientchat
Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh
They think the approval process was rushed & perhaps not as rigorous as it needed to be. They worry about general side effects & those specific to their personal illness. They want longer-term data on its effects. #PatientChat

T2 instead of debunking myths, we should share the facts. Vaccines work. As a person who is #HighRiskCovid19 the vaccine is important to immune compromised populations so that we can avoid severe complications. #patientchat

Topic 3 (T3:) coming up..... #patientchat
Patient Worthy @PatientWorthy
A2. One myth is that you should not get the vaccine if you have already had COVID-19. Since we don't know how long the vaccine confers protection, or how long the antibodies are protective, even those who had COVID-19 should still be vaccinated. #patientchat
Christina Lizaso @btrfly12

Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat T2: Someone I know hesitated to get it because a person they knew got a fever, aches, etc. That’s not necessarily bad or unexpected. I find it ironic that some who deny the threats/impacts of #COVID are quick to point out the potential side effects of the vaccine. #patientchat

If I start using terms like "debunk," this will fail with those who are already suspicious. Best I can do is share information & ask people to review the studies/literature & make an informed decision. #PatientChat
Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub
@patientchat T3: The first critical step is to note the facts and dispel the myths surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine. We must stop the spread of misinformation and we need more BIPOC clinicians. #patientchat
Salem Oaks @SalemOaks
T2 #patientchat @Pfizer and @Moderna are NOT selfishly withholding manufacturing knowledge. Both have multiple agreements for competitors to produce the vax.

@patientchat T4: #RareDisease has many spaces to enter (clinical trials included). Access is needed & it's an inequity. Unfortunately, approaching isn't on the table in many instances, for a variety of reasons (demographics, race, ethnicity, disease specificity, insurance, etc.). #patientchat

clinical trial diversity problem has been around a long time and has been slow to make progress. Hoping this pandemic helps push forward again. In cancer, Blacks make up 13% US population but only around 4% of cancer clinical trials. Hispanics 16% US vs 5% in trials #patientchat
