Episode description

This episode discusses five MMWR COVID-19 reports. The first three reports highlight the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against infection and hospitalization among adults and nursing home residents. The fourth report describes how there were many more deaths than usual in 2020 and how people from racial and ethnic minority groups were disproportionately affected. The last report shows how rapid antigen testing has been a valuable tool in helping control the spread of COVID-19 in remote areas of Alaska.
