Local Health Officials say the Approval of the Pfizer Vaccine could be the reassurance needed for more people to get vaccinated. Some Officials said that a lack of FDA Approval might be one reason people were discouraged from getting the shot.
John Pastorek, Director of Pharmacy at Mainline Pharmacy saying: “If it gives some people that extra boost of confidence to go ahead and get it, then I think it’s a good thing.”
Dr. Graham Snyder, UPMC Medical Director of Infection Prevention and Hospital Epidemiology saying: “I think for people who are unsure about the science behind these vaccines, this should be a piece of information that provides reassurance.”
