This week: COVID-19 vaccination update

As people line up to be vaccinated against COVID-19, some have questions or concerns. In this "HealthLink on Air" interview, Dr. Stephen Thomas explains what’s important to know about the COVID-19 vaccines.

He’s the chief of infectious disease at Upstate, where he is a professor of medicine and microbiology and immunology. He also led some of the trials for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

Thomas covers how each of the vaccines is designed to work, what life will start looking like as more people are vaccinated, and he answers common questions about vaccination. Listen this Sunday, March 21 at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. for more.
