CandID Conversations // A much needed conversation facilitated by outstanding Black women pharmacists specializing in Infectious Diseases.
With all of the misinformation out there as it relates to the COVID vaccines, our coalition of Black women ID pharmacists were excited to serve as a resource to those seeking trustworthy information to help them make a more informed decision. They listened to questions, engaged, and provided FACTS.

What about if I have other illnesses or diseases?
Hi Mildred,
This is Dr. JAM an included conversationalist. Currently it is recommended that EVERYONE receive the vaccine. Of course if you have autoimmune illnesses, are pregnant, or breast feeding you will of course want to talk to your primary care practitioner prior to receiving the vaccine.
As we said previously the benefits of the vaccine, meaning not being infected with COVID, far outweigh the risks.
@@jacindaabdul2352 thank you for your time and information.
Dr. Jam, is there a difference between Pfizer, Moderna and Astra zinica?
@@mildredstewart688 the difference between moderna and Pfizer is merely the packaging of the mRNA material which translates to different storage parameters for the vaccine. Which in NO WAY affects the consumer. The AstraZeneca vaccine is a bit different than an mRNA vaccine. this vaccine is inactivated vaccine, meaning it is a killed virus, it comes from a cold virus that typically occurs in chimpanzees, in which the spike protein, similar to the one that is characterized in COVID-19, is present. So it is currently not approved for emergency use in the US, as we are awaiting clinical trial completion information.
Informative and impactful discussion! ⚡️
