The Realities of that COVID Vaccine and What It Means to You

Dr. Ben Stong guides us through the hard truths about the vaccine.

The news as of late has been all about the COVID-19 vaccine. So many people are looking at the vaccine announcements as the beginning of the end of the pandemic. Vaccines are being touted by some on social media as the key to opening public gatherings back up — the ticket to travel again, to live away from home, to get out of the house. Unfortunately, the information coming out about the vaccines contradict these expectations and warrant a serious discussion.

Benjamin C. Stong, MD is a facial plastic surgeon who runs a full practice and surgery center in Atlanta. Dr. Stong has followed the vaccine news closely. He will need this info to protect his employees and patients when the vaccine becomes available.

In fact, the information is so confusing that I recently reached out to a physician who is following the information closely. Benjamin C. Stong, MD is double-board certified in facial plastic surgery. His Atlanta, Georgia practice also has a surgery center attached, so Dr. Strong has been following the vaccine closely so that he can inform patients and get his own staff vaccinated when the time comes. He not only breaks down the public information about the vaccine, with a warning to everyone.

“It’s going to be late spring, summer before the vaccine is available to the general public.”
