Living In This Vaccination Nation
Celebrating 100 years of service
Hawai‘i has hit the million-vaccine mile- stone, and I’m happy to say that I’m part of that sta- tistic. Over the span of about three weeks, I got both of my Pfizer vaccines at Hawai‘i Pa- cific Health’s Pier 2 clinic. For its part, the Kaka‘ako-based vaccination clinic first opened its doors to Tier 1A members back on Jan. 18, and has been inoculating about 2,000 pa- tients per day.

Book Pick Of The Week
Dr. Theresa Wee, who runs Wee Pediatrics Inc. and Wee Wellness Center in Waipi‘o Gentry, kept quite busy this past year. In January, she published The Happy, Healthy Revolution: The Working Parent’s Guide to Achieve Wellness as a Family Unit, and launched My Covid-19 Diary: Practical Tips and Scriptures for Improbable Times from an American Doctor last month.
“For many, going back to school full time and getting back on track after one year, is going to be very difficult, but I have practical tips for everyone,” she says of The Happy, Healthy Revolution.
Also, Wee is planning on relaunching Walk With A Doc O‘ahu at Patsy T. Mink Central O‘ahu Regional Park soon, so stay tuned on Facebook for updates.

Danny Kagehiro published Kapakahi Kau Kau (translates to “mixed up food”) back in 1989, and it features the unique food pairings submit- ted by island residents.
