He received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on December 20 and his second on January 10.
Verywell Health: Did you experience any side effects after receiving each shot?
I was still able to work and exercise during that time with minimal complaints.

Again, I was still able to work and exercise without any issues.
Verywell Health: How comfortable did you feel with the process and the information you were provided with?
I had done my own research too, and I felt comfortable with the Pfizer vaccine.
I knew that there could be side effects.
My being vaccinated has made my patients feel more comfortable around me.
I’ve also been able to describe my experience to them.
So I took it and I had a pretty seamless experience.
What is that like?
Michael Crowley:Working for a hospital definitely benefitted me in getting the vaccine as early as I did.
I still have to wear a mask when in public parameters.
Verywell Health: Any advice youd like to share with those looking to get vaccinated?
Michael Crowley:My advice would be not to hesitate, I would definitely recommend it.
I would tell them to prepare for symptoms very similar to a flu shot.
