Extra Edition: Bilingual Anti Covid “Chatbot.”
California health officials are fighting COVID-19 misinformation with a new Spanish-speaking health chatbot on the WhatsApp messaging platform. The “chat bot,” which is a digital assistant that allows the agency to communicate with people without live website service representatives, is also providing tips to stay healthy during Covid . Also, to simplify vaccination against Covid, the FDA is proposing annual one-dose shots. Under the new approach, most people would be advised to simply get whatever the latest version of the vaccine is annually each fall like the flu vaccine.
Guest: Yurina Melara, Press Secretary, California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, Sacramento, CA.
