WilmingtonBiz Talk: COVID Vaccines FAQs
Infectious disease specialist and NHRMC chief epidemiologist Paul Kamitsuka joins WilmingtonBiz Talk to answer questions about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Starting April 7, anyone over the age of 16 who wants the vaccine will be eligible to sign up for appointments in North Carolina. As the pace of vaccine supplies picks up, and the state eases more gathering restrictions, Kamitsuka talks about the different versions of the vaccines and what is being seen with side effects.
We’ll also ask Kamitsuka about the latest guidelines for people who are fully vaccinated. How do they change workplaces and public outings? Can vaccinated individuals transmit the virus, and when is masking still appropriate or not? What’s the latest on developing a vaccine for children, and what might the hurdles be there?
