The COVID-19 Reality: An Update
Get FREE CE for this episode by downloading the CEimpact App (details in the FREE CE section).
The current reality of COVID-19 is reviewed in this episode by Dr. Katelyn Jetelina. Dr. Jetelina is an epidemiologist and author of the wildly popular Newsletter, Your Local Epidemiologist, available via Substack.
We are losing ~400 Americans a day. During the first week of September, we lost 2,299 people. In August 2022 alone, we lost 15,284 Americans to COVID-19. This means COVID-19 remains the third leading cause of death in our repertoire of threats. And it’s largely preventable[1].
Pharmacists continue to support the frontlines of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This episode shares insights on the current reality as well as what you need to know about bivalent boosters, and vaccinating children.
The COVID-19 pandemic is still ‘a thing’ and the best source of protection are vaccines. The new bivalent booster vaccine provides opportunities to protect ourselves and our communities.
