    This is what ALL hospital systems, states and counties must be doing. Collect the data. The distribution of future vaccines depend upon data reporting. See Q&A at 35:33 min from PWS 1/14/21 briefing @Bob_Wachter @VPrasadMDMPH @apoorva_nyc https://t.co/G6wO7eaZtS https://t.co/ZvyddxHCks

    Gentle reminder: more Health Care Workers start getting their 2nd shots of COVID vaccine this week- some people may need a day off (or just help lifting heavy objects if they have a sore arm). Younger people w/ strong immune systems may have stronger reaction than those older. https://t.co/m8xPLhYUbW

    What I tell patients getting pelvic RT: -Males: risk of infertility 10-20%, surgery can cause erectile dysfunction. Sperm bank if ? kids. Do before RT & chemo. -Females (pre-meno): risk of infertility is ~100%. Unfortunately egg harvesting/embryo prep more involved. #GI21 https://t.co/scjDBOLUJA
