joined by Dr. Sharon Nachman, of the Stony Brook University Infectious Disease
Department, to discuss how to safely gather for the holidays as COVID-19 cases
surge.
Dr. Nachman says while it is exciting to get together for
the holidays, it's important to take precautions through testing and
vaccination.
Why is there a big COVID-19 surge when vaccination rates are
up? Dr. Nachman says the main goal of vaccines is to protect you from
hospitalization and death.
Dr. Nachman says not to wait on getting a booster shot for
those who are eligible.
