A Milwaukee doctor got his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine live on Facebook in hopes he will help ease any apprehension people may have about it, especially in Native American communities. Dr. Lyle Ignace is the CEO of the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center on 10th and Mitchell on Milwaukee's south side. He got the vaccine on Tuesday, and on Thursday he shared how he was feeling at his weekly town hall. "The next morning I had a little soreness right where I had the vaccine, but most of the day was pretty good," Ignace said. He said he felt a little more tired on Wednesday night and a little stiffness in his hands, but nothing too concerning.
