Johnson County Public Health Officer Dr. Mark Schueler, in his weekly discussion at the COVID-19 Emergency Operations Center Briefing this week, said it is exciting to see a major turning point in the war on COVID, with the implementation of vaccinations during the last few weeks.

He touched on vaccine safety, saying he believes the vaccine is safer than risking getting the disease.

Dr. Schueler said that medical science clearly does not yet know the long-term effects of the vaccine, but he is more concerned about what the long-term effects of the COVID virus could be, how it affects our nervous system and our immune system.

He has encouraged people to rely on the vaccine to avoid a more complicated picture later on.

But, he said, we all have to make our own decisions.
