On Health Care: Pounding away against anti-vax bloc: they're safe, they work

Q: What are you telling residents skeptical of taking the vaccine if even nurses won't get it?

MURPHY: We've got to begin with a skeptical anti-vax bloc, which is a minority, but they're strong. We're not waiting until we get them. We've already been pounding away that these are safe, they work, and that's a message I'll repeat right now. We have had our medical folks kick the tires up and down. We believe in these vaccines. They're safe. They work. We want people to get them.
