For Dr. Taison Bell, a critical care and infectious disease physician at the University of Virginia, getting the first dose of the vaccine on Tuesday was a step toward a future without the coronavirus. “It’s the moment that I’ve prayed for, to be honest,” Bell said. “For me, [getting vaccinated] is just a drop in the bucket. ... But it’s an important first step.” Bell spoke about his anticipation of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in a video he posted to Twitter on Tuesday morning.
