Reaction to COVID-19 vaccine closes one Kalamazoo school; expert says side effects are only short-term

KALAMAZOO MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine caused one Kalamazoo area school to close on Friday, but a medical expert says it’s worth the short-term issues.

WWMT news reported that St Augustine closed due to several teachers being out.

Bronson Medical Group chief of quality Dr. Aaron Lane-Davies stated that the side effects are the body’s reaction to building the immunity to the virus, and that short-term side effects will result in positive long-term protection.
