COVID-19 is once again dominating concerns for pediatric providers as we prepare for back to school across the U.S.

Between the rise of the Delta variant, national nursing shortages, mask mandates and the eager anticipation of EUA approval for the COVID vaccine use in kids aged 5-11... we in healthcare find ourselves in a sobering reality. In this episode we are joined by Jessica Cataldi, MD and Sam Dominguez, MD, PhD to overview the latest impacts of the pandemic on pediatrics.
