Whether it’s the flu, the latest COVID strain or RSV, a lot of illness gets passed around in the winter. It’s a good time for patients who might be vaccination fatigued to hear a little gentle counseling from their family physician. https://t.co/FEsoIIDLiP

As I reflect on what I’m thankful for this season, I’m thinking of the six 2023 recipients of the Surgeon General’s Medallion. The way they served their communities during challenging times fills me with hope and reminds us there is much good in the world.
