What’s it like to get the COVID-19 vaccine? A personal journey with Dean Giles (Episode 3)

The UIC School of Public Health Dean, Dr. Wayne Giles, talks to us before and after his COVID-19 vaccination in January. He shares how COVID-19 has impacted his family, what motivated him to get vaccinated, and how he felt after the vaccine. Listen to this episode to get an in-depth look at a public health worker’s experience of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
