Amid the current push for Americans to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, some have now started disguising themselves when they go to their vaccine appointments, a southern Missouri doctor said. On July 18, Ozarks Healthcare posted a video on its Facebook page in which Dr. Priscilla Frase, a hospitalist and chief medical information officer for Ozarks Healthcare in West Plains, said a pharmacist informed her of some people asking to remain anonymous when receiving the vaccine.
Theyve had several people come in to get vaccinated who have tried to sort of disguise their appearance and even went so far as to say, Please, please, please dont let anybody know that I got this vaccine. I dont want my friends to know but I dont want to get COVID, " Frase said.
But theyre very concerned about how their people that they love, within their family and within their friendship circles and work circles, are going to react if they found out they got the vaccine.
Weve got to stop ridiculing people that do or dont want to get the vaccine, like you see on social media and so many posts and just get the right information out there, Frase said. My fear is that people are getting information from the wrong sources and therefore making uninformed decisions rather than informed decisions. Its very important that people make truly informed decisions.

(16,090 posts)I thought the idea was as close to 100 vaccinated. So now its awful if they come in looking different? Come in clown costume who cares. So surprised that this is a problem.

(23,378 posts)... should be like two Baptists meeting at a liquor store.
No smile, no handshake, no wink, no recognition. It didn't happen. I was not here. You were not here.
(a sort of joke. I don't know how seriously Baptists adhere to any restrictions on alcohol)
