Dr. Kevin Lewis is the President of SSM Health/St. Anthony Hospital. He joins us each Tuesday morning to discuss medical news and answer questions. This week we discussed: 

Current stages of the latest Omicron COVID variant. News of Philadelphia instituting new masking requirements for indoor areas. Where we are at currently with COVID hospitalizations. Also, the if-and-when scenario of a new surge coming to Oklahoma. With a second COVID vaccine booster shot approved by the FDA & CDC, when should folks get the shot, and what to expect once you’ve gotten the second booster shot. We’re currently experiencing critically low blood availability levels and the need for donations is high. We go through some of the reasons why that’s the case.
