“I’ve made a LOT of progress encouraging people to get vaccinated lately!!!” Dr. Brytney Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, wrote on Facebook. “Do you want to know how? I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections. One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.”
