Sellick Among First Buffalo Physicians to Receive COVID Vaccine

John A. Sellick Jr., DO, professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases, was among the first to get a COVID-19 vaccine at the Buffalo VA Medical Center. Sellick said he wanted to get the vaccine to show everyone it is safe to get — especially compared to the symptoms of the coronavirus. “A shot in the arm compared to a couple weeks in the ICU is a pretty easy exchange in my mind,” he said.
