A delta variant of COVID-19 identified in Santa Cruz County.

Rondella and Jennifer, oh you? RHONDELLA: THANKS AJ DELTA PLUS NOW PUBLISHING IN 11 CNTOURIES raises new concerns about the impact of T on the efficacy of the COVID vaccine. JENNIFER: Here to answer your question is Dr. RK SIEDNER, EPIDEMIOLOSTGI. Within many general hospital infectious diseases departments, how are the DTAEL PLUS variants different and more dangerous? >> So we’re still learning about this AYT or DELTA PLUS variant, it’s definitely one the scientific community is watching. But I think what people know is that as long as the vaccination rate is very low. anywhere in the world The virus will continue to spread and these variants will continue to occur. We know that the parent virus, the Delta variant, spread in Massachusetts, is seen in 10-20% of current cases. It is clearly contagious and appears to be more serious. especially in young people. So for those of us who have not been vaccinated I think especially among younger people. I think this is something you should keep an eye on. Rondella: OK, we know that immunocompromised people may not get the same protection from the coronavirus vaccine. answer What do you think of that AUTBO? >> Studies have been conducted and they have gained confidence. In this way, organ transplant recipients receive a third vaccine. There will be a specific population of people who need more vaccines than the rest of us. Jennifer: If protection is better with a third dose? at least in some cases Why isn’t everyone vaccinated, or is there too many chances of getting vaccinated? >> So, on the other hand, in most of our areas, more than 90% of us, obviously the current vaccine is working. We have seen that in clinical trials and real-world data. These vaccines prevent 90-100% of deaths, although boosters may be necessary or have reduced immunity. Or are these vaccines working now? Not much to get the third dose, especially with the global short-term of RHONDELLA vaccine: REGISTRATION ON THIS TRSHUDAY IS OPEN FOR VAXMILLIONS GETAWA Y. >> We are learning that there is a weird reason people don’t. get vaccinated Hopefully an informative session like this will resolve their concerns. There are people who have had a hard time accessing vaccines for work or childcare schedules. It’s great to see VAX BUS or any other program. in Massachusetts to deal with these problems. Few of them needed a special poke. In Massachusetts and other states, there are more than a million offers for those in need. Hopefully this will allow more people to cross the finish line. Jennifer: The numbers are up, Dr. Mark Sid.
