With all of the new COVID variants popping up, the Docs discuss some of the new developments and CDC recommendations for staying safe.

The number of cases of the Delta Variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is ramping up and causing communities and governments to reinstate mask mandates. The Delta Variant is affecting children more than prior variants, causing the Docs to think about the impact it the virus is having on their kids. The Docs discuss who is eligible for booster shots and what that means for those new variants.

- R0/R naught: a mathematical term that indicates how contagious an infectious disease is. It’s also referred to as the reproduction number. R naught tells you the average number of people who will contract a contagious disease from one person with that disease. It specifically applies to a population of people who were previously free of infection and haven’t been vaccinated.

- Titer: the titer test detects the presence of certain antibodies in the blood stream. Testing involves drawing blood from a patient and check it in a lab for presence of bacteria or disease. It is often used to see if someone is immune to a certain virus or needs vaccination.
