"Ask VaxFacts" event coming

Anyone needing answers about Covid vaccines can take advantage of an online meeting being arranged with a local doctor whose been taking note of people’s questions and is still listening.

Dr. Jennifer Knox, a family practice and obstetrics physician at Coulee Medical Center, will appear in a live Zoom meeting next Tuesday evening to answer questions.

The “AskVax Facts” meeting will be offered Sept. 28, at 6:30 p.m.

In the meantime, anyone with a question may ask it through a simple online question site at cmccares.org/questions. The link to the Zoom event, which is long, can be obtained at that site too.

The effort to answer questions factually is a collaboration between CMC and Grant County Health District with an endorsement from the Grand Coulee Dam Rotary Club, which does not endorse political stances such as those that have clouded information around the vaccines.

“If you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, or you’d like clarification about something you’ve seen or heard, we’re here to help,” reads messaging around the event. “How does the COVID-19 vaccine work? Is it effective? Even against the Delta variant? What are the side effects? How do I know it’s safe? Do I need a vaccine if I’ve already had COVID?”

Those are a few questions Knox will answer, but others can still be sent through the website.
