3. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Michael Knight, associate chief quality and population health officer at George Washington University Hospital:
“Even though we are not at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has not gone away. And sometimes we will only think about what’s a risk for me. But what we know is that we also think about the risk for my loved ones, those I’m interacting with on a day to day basis. And so we encourage individuals to get vaccinated against COVID-19, not just for themselves, but also for family members or those in the community that are immunocompromised, meaning their immune systems don’t work as effectively, those who are at increased risk for poor health outcomes, like those with many chronic conditions, or seniors.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Michael Knight, associate chief quality and population health officer at George Washington University Hospital:
“As you know, we see different strains that are coming up every couple of months. We’re seeing different strains because the virus is continuing to move through individuals. And every time there’s a new infection, increases the opportunity for a new mutation.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Michael Knight, associate chief quality and population health officer at George Washington University Hospital:
“People are still dying from COVID-19. We don’t talk about it as much, of course, because there are other things happening in the world, and we’re not seeing thousands of people in my personal community that are dying every week. But people are still losing lives. And whenever we think about avoidable or preventable deaths, even if it’s a couple, that’ should stay top of mind. So, yes, maybe we believe that it’s not going to be me, but let’s not take a chance. You know, if you have a tool that’s available to you, it’s covered by almost all insurances (in the US), it may be of no cost to you to get it, why not get a vaccine that’s going to help you reduce that risk?”
