Special Episode 7: COVID19 now and in the future with Professor Erwin Loh
Newfound freedom from lockdown in both Victoria and New South Wales will undoubtedly lead to greater COVID-19 exposure. Whilst widespread vaccination uptake has been achieved a significant number of adults and our children remain unvaccinated and vulnerable to the Delta strain. What can we expect from the health perspective for those exposed?
What are the health departments rules governing exposure? Is there a plan for rapid antigen testing in our community and what about version 2.0 of the vaccines?
Join me with Professor Erwin Loh, Chief Medical Officer from St Vincent’s health who has a superb grasp of world health data and is an expert in translating research evidence into best practice.
