AV on Health: We're Still in a Pandemic!

An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration says "yes" to booster shots for people 65 and older along with those at high risk for severe illness, but "no" to widespread booster shots for those 12-65. Meanwhile, Pfizer says its vaccine is safe for kids between 5-12 years old. Hospital admissions for children with Covid are at the highest numbers since the CDC started tracking child admissions about a year ago. Schools are doing all they can to keep kids safe, but many schools have classes that have had to shut down because of Covid exposure. Yes - we are still in the pandemic! Dr. Keith Newby, Cardiologist and Director of Health Equity with Sentara, joins us with the latest on the Covid-19, booster shots and keeping our kids and ourselves safe.
