Episode 195: Dr. Nancy Sicotte Shares an Update About Vaccines and DMTs, Variants, Masks, and More

As the United States begins to move past the pandemic and toward something much closer to life as we once knew it, I've received a lot of questions from members of the RealTalk MS listener community who are concerned about how their disease-modifying therapy may affect the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, whether the authorized vaccines will protect them from variants, and whether they should continue wearing a mask, despite encouraging recommendations from the CDC. As Chair of the National MS Society's National Medical Advisory Committee, Dr. Nancy Sicotte also leads the MS Society's COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Group. And Dr. Sicotte is joining me once again to answer your questions and resolve some of the confusion around these important topics.  We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
