One of the other docs in our group felt so badly with flu-like symptoms the day after her second dose that she cancelled her afternoon patients and went home. She was once ranked about 200th in the women's ATP rankings (tennis) so is kind of a tough customer. One of our MAs went home for the same reason (but she's one to more easily shirk a task.)

Health disparities have been well documented in the medical literature. In 2002, the Institute of Medicine published Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, a book-length study that concluded that: “A large body of published research reveals that racial and ethnic minorities experience a lower quality of health services, and are less likely to receive even routine medical procedures than are White Americans.”
Citing numerous examples, the authors wrote: “Significantly, these differences are associated with greater mortality among African-American patients.”
