Extra Edition: Covid Shots. A Repeat.
After the FDA gave the green light, public health workers are set this week to begin giving Covid shots for kids aged 5 to 11. A medical expert welcomes the news, explains the content of the vaccine and the way it will be available, the impact in Latino families, the role of schools, and the risks unvaccinated children continue facing during this pandemic. In another topic, Covid vaccines protect against hospitalization and death. But how about against long Covid after breakthrough infections? A medical expert talks about the surge of breakthrough infections and the risks for vulnerable, immuno-compromised patients, such as patients with cancer and diabetes. This program was originally aired on Nov 4.
Guests: Dr. Eneida Roldán, Chief Executive Officer of the Health Care Network; Associate Dean and Professor, College of Medicine, Florida International University, Miami, FL; Dr. Jeannette Guarner, Professor, Pathology and Laboratory, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA.
