We have better tools this year to combat the omicron variant, including vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and effective treatments. It may take a few days to understand how this variant behaves, but we should remain calm and prepared. Ensure you are vaccinated and receive a booster if eligible. Practice common sense precautions: wash your hands, get tested if exposed, and seek well-ventilated areas in public.

Speaker 0: The tools this year that we didn't have last year to help fight this omicron variant and all the other variants. It's just a matter of time. It could be days to maybe another week or 2 until we know exactly how this variant will behave. But we have the, the the vaccines. We have monoclonal antibodies.
We have therapeutics. We have medications. We know how to treat this disease. The best thing we can do right now is not panic, but just be prepared. And by that, I mean, make sure you're vaccinated, get your booster if you're eligible for a booster, and just use common sense precautions.
Hand washing, making sure you get tested if you were exposed, making sure you're in an area that has good ventilation if you're in public.

New #Omicron #Covid Variant. We’ve been at it for 2 years. There’s No need to Panic. Just Protect yourself. Get your vaccine & a booster if you’re an adult. Get tested if you’ve been exposed @FoxNews @MollyLineFNC #safety https://t.co/7B17LJtQD4
Video Transcript AI Summary
The omicron variant is a variant of concern, but there's no need to panic. It has many mutations that may allow it to enter our cells more easily, but it's unclear if it's more harmful or just more contagious. In South Africa, cases increased without a rise in deaths or hospitalizations, which is reassuring. Scientists are currently assessing the effectiveness of existing vaccines and treatments, including monoclonal antibodies, against this variant. Vaccine manufacturers like Novavax, Pfizer, and Moderna are proactively testing boosters specifically for omicron. Vaccination remains the best protection, and it's not too late to get vaccinated or receive a booster, along with the flu shot.

Speaker 0: New variant, the omicron variant, it is a variant of concern, but we shouldn't panic. It's just important to be aware of what this variant could potentially do to Americans, to those who are vaccinated and to those who are unvaccinated. What we know so far is that there are a lot of mutations in this omicron variant, and the combination of these, mutations might make it easier for the virus to gain access into our cells, into our body, and make us sick. But the question is, is it more virulent? Meaning, is it more harmful or is it simply going to be just more contagious?
When we saw this outbreak in South Africa, we saw an increase in the number of COVID cases, but we did not see an increase in the number of deaths and hospitalizations. So that is reassuring. But right now what's important is that scientists are trying to determine if our current vaccines are still effective, which I think they will be, maybe to a lesser degree. And also our current treatment modalities, for example, our monoclonal antibodies, will they still work? So these are things that we need to determine and also to determine if someone has had previous infection and they have that natural immunity, those natural antibodies, are they at higher risk for reinfection?
These are all the things that we are currently investigating.
Speaker 1: What should we be seeing from the vaccine makers themselves when they're keeping an eye on this as well, keeping an eye on these mutations, working to combat it? Are we seeing success in those efforts being done by these major suppliers?
Speaker 0: I believe so. Novavax, Pfizer, Moderna. Moderna, for example, has anticipated and was being proactive and and and knew that we were likely going to see more variants emerge. And they are already in the process of testing boosters specifically for Omicron and also Pfizer's Omicron. And, also, Pfizer is currently testing to see how effective our current vaccines are against this variant.
I do believe they will still be effective, and I do believe the best way to protect ourselves are to get vaccinated, get your booster if you're eligible for a booster. If you haven't had any of the shots, it's still not too late to do that in addition to getting your flu shot as well. So just I wanna

A recent CDC study involving 10,000 participants shows that those who received a third booster shot had significantly more antibodies and better protection compared to those who did not. As we approach the winter holidays, this extra protection can help reduce infection and spread. The CDC now strongly recommends that individuals over 50 get a booster shot. However, those over 18, particularly those with conditions like asthma, diabetes, or obesity, are also encouraged to receive a booster for added protection.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Now have clear cut compelling data. A trial of 10,000 participants. This was just posted on the CDC website that showed those who had a third dose of booster shot had significantly more improvement, more protection, more antibodies than those who did not have that 3rd dose. So we definitely know, especially going into the winter holidays, having that extra protection can help minimize infection, can help minimize spread. So, if you are especially over the age of 50, the CDC now recommends you should definitely get a booster.
But over the age of 18, you can definitely get one as well, especially if you have asthma, diabetes, obesity.

Vaccinating young children is exciting because it helps prevent school absences. If one child tests positive, the whole class often has to quarantine, which can lead to social isolation. This past year has seen increased anxiety and depression among kids, so avoiding quarantine is crucial. Additionally, vaccination allows children to participate in activities like sleepovers, parties, and sports without the need for testing or quarantine after exposure. Overall, the vaccine can significantly improve children's social experiences and mental well-being.

Speaker 0: What are you telling parents in your practice about giving the vaccine to their kids? Because it looks like based upon what I just read in that intro, we're getting closer to having this vaccine ready for those young kids. What are you telling patients in your practice?
Speaker 1: Yes. That's really exciting. I think one of the greatest benefits of having this age group vaccinated is not missing school. If you get, for example, one child who tests positive, the entire class has to quarantine. So not missing school, not having to quarantine is a huge deal because remember, we wanna avoid that social isolation isolation that we're seeing children have to endure this past year.
A lot of anxiety, a lot of depression. Also, you'll be have be able to enjoy the activities that you love doing more readily, sleepovers, parties, sports activities, without having to get tested, without having to quarantine if you've been exposed.

It's not too late to get your second shot if you skipped it. Many patients express concerns about side effects, but these typically last only a day and provide essential protection against hospitalization. Access and convenience also play a role in vaccination rates. It's crucial to understand that without the second dose, you won't achieve the full 94-95% protection. Getting vaccinated is vital for reaching herd immunity and meeting the CDC's target for reopening by July 1st.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Doctor Neshwad, great to see you this morning. Your reaction to this, people skipping that second shot.
Speaker 1: Well, Maria, the first thing I wanna say is it's not too late. If you skipped your second shot, you can still go back and get it. Well, what I'm seeing is from my patients is there's a concern for side effects that might happen. Keep in mind, those side effects will only last maybe about a day and will protect you and keep you out of the hospital. We're also seeing an issue with just convenience and, you know, access availability if it's, you know, in your neighborhood, which it should be at this point.
And then there's the concern of just people just not understanding that you will not get full protection, that 94, 95% protection if you don't get that second dose. So very important to get that second dose so that we can all reach herd immunity quickly, so we can get that July 1st target opening that the CDC recommends.

Continue to wear your mask, practice social distancing, get tested, and monitor for #COVID_19 symptoms that may occur. #TipswithDrJ @CDCgov https://t.co/wF85u49dTK
Video Transcript AI Summary
The CDC has updated its guidelines regarding exposure to coronavirus. If you’ve been exposed and are symptom-free after 10 days, you can return to work. Alternatively, if you are symptom-free for 7 days and have a negative COVID test, you can also go back to work. It's important to continue monitoring your symptoms, wearing a mask, and practicing social distancing.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Hey, guys. You'll be happy to know that the CDC has updated its guidelines. If you've been exposed to someone who tested positive for coronavirus and you are symptom free after 10 days, then you are cleared to go back to work. If you are symptom free for 7 days with a negative COVID test, then you are also free to go back to work. But the baseline remains that you should still monitor your symptoms, wear your mask, and practice social distancing.

We are currently facing a severe outbreak of the Delta variant, which is rapidly spreading and leading to record hospitalizations among children and those under 50. Many states, including Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee, are running out of ICU beds, putting immense strain on the healthcare system. It's crucial to take action to protect everyone, as the virus can spread easily from person to person. When the virus spreads, it replicates and has the potential to mutate, resulting in stronger variants like Delta that are more difficult to control.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Let's take a look at what we're dealing with right now, Alicia. We are dealing with the severe outbreak with Delta. It's spreading like wildfire, and it's putting our children in the hospital in record numbers. The coronavirus, this Delta strain is affecting the younger population. We see more hospitalizations with those under the age of 50 and our children.
And we now are running out of ICU beds. If you look at Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, we are running out of hospital beds. We are running out of ICU beds. The health care system is strained. So when we are dealing with these types of situations, we need to take action.
And that starts with protecting everyone because everyone is capable of spreading this virus from one person to another. And remember what happens when the virus spreads. We it replicates and then it has the opportunity to mutate. And that's when we see these stronger variants like Delta that are harder to control.
