A Town Hall Conversation XVI 08.12.21

Dr. Boom is joined by Houston Methodist epidemiologist Dr. Ashley Drews. The pair discussed COVID-19 variants, particularly the highly transmissible Delta variant, as well as the possible need for booster shots and when those might become available. They also talked about keeping children safe as they return to school and discussed the importance of wearing masks, even for vaccinated people. Dr. Boom shared a nurse’s perspective on the surge in COVID-19 cases and discussed how community members can support our front-line heroes.
