It has been 6 months since much of the U.S. shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19, and people want to know how the country can move closer to life as it was. As the new school year begins, and another flu season approaches, vaccines have become an important part of the conversation.
Living Beyond Breast Cancer vice president of mission delivery Janine Guglielmino, MA, spoke with William Schaffner, MD, a professor of preventative medicine, about vaccines. They discuss the development of a COVID-19 vaccine, where you should turn for trusted information when one has been approved, and probable limits of a COVID-19 vaccine, especially for people who have compromised immune systems. They also talk about the importance of getting a flu shot this year and making sure adults and children are up to date on their vaccines even while many of us are still working and learning from home.
