The leadership of the Osher Collaborative for Integrative Medicine expresses our support for the COVID-19 vaccine. We encourage our patients, members, clients, friends, and family to get the vaccine as soon as it is made available to them. We want to emphasize our confidence in the rigor and science behind the formation of this vaccine.  

We recognize and acknowledge the justified distrust from communities that have suffered abuses at the hands of the medical industry previously and understand their hesitation. We support equitable access to the vaccine, to information about the vaccine, and to means of scheduling vaccinations, particularly for those at greater risk for further marginalization.
