The Science Behind the Past, Present, and Future of COVID.

Where did COVID come from? What can you do right now to make sure you can fight the virus, if you are ever infected? Should you get vaccinated?

This summer saw a rise in COVID-19 infections across the U.S., driven by a new variant. To address this, updated vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer have been approved by the FDA and will be available this fall. The CDC notes the virus has been evolving, making regular vaccinations important, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

Los casos de COVID-19 están aumentando ligeramente en EE. UU., y se introducirá una nueva vacuna este otoño. Telemundo20 en Texas conversa con el Dr. Quay para discutir los datos más recientes sobre esta vacuna y las precauciones que las personas deben considerar para los próximos meses. A pesar de la presencia continua del virus, actualmente es menos infeccioso y se asemeja a un resfriado común en términos de transmisión.
