As a pediatrician in Bellingham, Dr. James Bochsler has seen a number of people receive many different vaccinations over the years. But he said there is something different about the people he’s watched receive a COVID-19 vaccine in recent weeks.

“At the vaccine clinics we’ve set up, I see people getting the vaccine, and the smiles I’m seeing and the sense that something good is going to happen is really different from any other vaccine we’re giving,” the vice president and medical director for PeaceHealth Medical Group Northwest told The Bellingham Herald Friday, Jan. 8. “People really do seem to be pleased to be getting it.

“I think they know they’re better protected and their families are better protected, and that is something.”
