Every new strain that's identified is being looked at very, very carefully. As soon as they're identified- it takes a little while to do that, a couple, Three Weeks, I understand, but they are being looked at in terms of their ability to be transmitted, their ability to cause sickness and their ability to be prevented by or the sickness to be prevented by the vaccine.
Ever wondered how effective the COVID-19 vaccines are against those new, pesky mutant strains? Dr. Salvatore Giorgianni Jr. joins 'American Medicine Today' to break it all down. He dives into the nitty-gritty of how these new strains from the U.K., Brazil, and other places are being assessed for their ability to spread, make people sick, and whether our current vaccines can stop them in their tracks.
Spoiler alert: While these new strains are more contagious, they don't make you sicker than the original virus. But here's the kicker – it's crucial to get as many folks vaccinated as possible. Why? To keep the virus from mutating even more. Dr. Giorgianni also chats about some hot topics like vaccinating kids and the best timing for getting the jab.
He’s all about following the science and using every available resource – pharmacies, doctors' offices, local hospitals – to get shots into arms efficiently. Feeling impatient about vaccination rates? You're not alone. Dr. Giorgianni talks about the lag in reporting numbers and why it's important to stay patient and keep an eye on vaccination progress to curb those COVID mutations. Tune in for a dose of clarity and maybe even a bit of hope in these uncertain times.
