266 - Caution and COVID-19: Why Vigilance Still Matters

from Public Health On Call · host Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Morale is up and case numbers are down at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but infection prevention expert Dr. Lisa Maragakis says vaccines are in a race against variants and we shouldn't let our guard down. Dr. Maragakis talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about "watching evolution in real time" with mutations of SARS-CoV-2, staying the course with infection prevention, and when things could really take a turn for the better if we resist the urge to relax too much, too quickly. KEYWORDS: viral mutation; herd immunity; pandemic response
