COVID-19 update: Boosters, HIPAA, and lessons learned from those who’ve been treating patients and fighting for public health for the last 18 months
COVID-19 update: Boosters, HIPAA, and lessons learned from those who’ve been treating patients and fighting for public health for the last 18 months.
NOISE's Ashley Salem and Emily Chen-Newton sit down with two heavy-hitters of public health and medical expertise to bring you an accurate update on everything from the COVID-19 vaccine boosters to self-care during this time. Dr. Ali Khan, Dean of the College of Public Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center speaks about the differences between the vaccines and he touches on the complicated topic of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). He explains that public health information is typically exempt from HIPAA, and so it should not be used as a reason to restrict the information publically available about rising case numbers in Nebraska; though it has been used in just this way in recent weeks by NE government officials including Governor Ricketts and the Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Jasmine Marcelin, who has been treating COVID-19 patients for over 18 months now as an infectious disease physician shares some of the heaviness she's experienced as a Black female physician seeing the disproportionate impact on Black and Brown communities over the past year and a half.
