from Baktari MD · host Jonathan Baktari MD
The COVID-19 Omicron variant emerged in South Africa and is the newest variant to be elevated to a "variant of concern." The question is, will our vaccines still be effective against the Omicron variant? That was the concern when the COVID-19 Delta Variant came out, and thankfully, our vaccines remain effective against the Delta Variant and even more so for those who have received the booster shot. In today's episode I go over the Omicron variant and what it says about the future of COVID-19 as we move into the year 2022.Thank you for joining me on another episode of Baktari MD!
