Many questions are coming in about whether-or-not heart valve disease is considered part of the qualifications for patients to be considered part of "Phase 1c" of the COVID-19 vaccination allocation.

For that reason, I just interviewed Dr. Marc Gerdisch, Dr. Joanna Chikwe and Dr. Ram Dandillaya to learn more.

See the physician responses at "Are Heart Valve Patients in Phase 1c of COVID-19 Vaccination?"
