Ochsner Health now has 1,003 COVID-19 patients hospitalized across our system. On July 20, we had 313. If you are vaccinated, your chances of becoming infected or being hospitalized are dramatically reduced. It’s not too late to get the vaccine! https://t.co/poCxFF5xNl.

We are living in real time what being the least healthy state feels like in a horrible way. We can fix this now, please get vaccinated #HealthyState https://t.co/pCC27ZngDC

Great health can happen when we work together in our communities! https://t.co/HKEbmm1t9J

In this world of vaccine hesitancy we can’t forget that we have vaccines that prevent cancer, what an amazing “long term” side effect

Join us Friday, Feb. 19, at noon for a live Q&A with @DrRobertHart, Dr. @sandykemmerly and Dr. Robin Bone on the Ochsner Health Facebook page. They will be discussing some of the common questions we hear about COVID-19 and the vaccine and share more on the facts.

[Timothy Riddell, MD @timriddellmd]

I've gotten this question frequently in the last few weeks, here is the answer straight from the experts!

[Ochsner Health @OchsnerHealth]

With different reports coming out every day on the vaccine, it is easy to be confused by myths. Infectious disease specialist Dr. Katherine Baumgarten goes through ten of the most common myths surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines and explains the facts.

Another story from the vaccine clinic today, while I was there, one of the patients commented this was her birthday and the entire health center serenaded her. Here’s to many more birthdays WITH her family with some help from this vaccine

[Timothy Riddell, MD @timriddellmd]

While checking in on the progress of our NS team’s Covid vaccination program this weekend I saw some things I wanted to share. First the team ramped up vaccinations for those >70 from 65 people on 1/4 to over 2300 on 1/9. What amazing work by this whole vaccine team

[Ochsner Health @OchsnerHealth]

People who have already had and recovered from COVID-19 may be wondering if they need to worry about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. https://t.co/8ukGZVFfQc

And my mother-in-law!!!

[Timothy Riddell, MD @timriddellmd]

Started vaccinating our over 70 patients. This is a huge step to escaping this pit. Glad to know my mom is safer now.
