Episode Synopsis "The COVID-19 Vaccine: Considerations for Dancers"

On this episode of The Dance Docs I sit down with Dr. Kathleen Davenport to discuss information on the two COVID-19 vaccines currently being offered in the US.  We dive into answering some of our listener questions, discuss our experience receiving the Pfizer vaccine, as well as some considerations in returning to class, rehearsals or treating after your first and second dose of a vaccine.  As with all of our episodes we do our best to provide you with the most current information and what we discuss on the show is not considered medical advice, if you have any concerns regarding the vaccine we recommend that you speak directly to your physician.
