Dr. Gabriel Bosslet, associate professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine, recently saw one of his patients who had not been vaccinated but was at a high risk for becoming seriously ill from COVID-19.
Bosslet explained the risks of not getting a vaccine. Still, the patient declined. So, Bosslet took it one step further. He penned a hand-written note and mailed it to the patient.
“It would break my heart to have to care for you in the ICU with COVID-19,” he said. “I urge you to get the vaccine.”
A Looming Surge
Bosslet is one of thousands of doctors and physicians across the state pulling out all the stops to get people vaccinated, as the more contagious and deadlier Delta variant begins to spread across Indiana.
According to the Indiana State Department of Health, the Delta variant accounts for more than 81 percent of all new cases. That’s double from just a month ago.
