Preparing for the Covid-19 Vaccine with Tia
A note from Dr. Kathleen Jordan, MD
By Tia
Last week, Tia’s Care Team received their first dose of the Covid vaccine — a celebratory moment instilling hope after many harrowing months, and positioning us to be able to one day soon, provide the vaccine to you, too.
We chose to get vaccinated not only for our health but also for the health of our families and communities that depend on our collective participation to achieve herd immunity and combat the pandemic. We’ve done our research and scoured the data, and we would never encourage you to do something we weren’t willing to do ourselves.
As an infectious disease specialist and Internal Medicine doctor with more than two decades of experience designing complex care delivery models, I am proud to be at the helm of Tia's Covid vaccine efforts.

Just as in our core primary care and gynecology practice, we deploy a sex-specific, distinctly female approach to vaccines — assessing female-specific risk-factors, side effects, and translating the hard data to counter misinformation. Radical transparency and nothing but the facts will forever and always be our priority.
Tia is working tirelessly with our local partners in New York and California to ensure safe and convenient vaccine access for every Tia patient, their partners, and families, following the CDC recommendations and local county roll-out plans. Vaccine efforts are currently focused on healthcare workers and long-term care facility residents, but eligibility criteria (determined at the local level) is changing daily.
The last 9-months have revealed the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on communities of color — a stark reminder that while a virus can impact us all, it does not affect us all equally. To ensure access to vaccines for all people, especially for those most at risk, Tia will collaborate and prioritize distributing vaccines to BIPOC women and families with our local health system and non-profit partners.
Stay tuned for more information on the Covid-19 vaccines and how Tia is here to support you through it.
