Here's to the light at the end of the tunnel 💉

While we celebrate what a #COVID19vaccine means for our future, we also know many myths are circulating online. To set the record straight, our infectious disease specialists share six key facts they want everyone to know.

Shout out to Pradip Kamat, MD, MBA, FCCM and Rahul Damania, MD on their new #MedEd podcast! Outstanding teachers to work with in the #PedsICU. So glad they're sharing their craft with the world. Enjoyed the convo with our very own peds stroke guru elissa ortolani 🧠 picudoconcall.captivate.fm/listen

It's going to be a good year!

Please get vaccinated/boosted and do the same for your kids. "Collectively, the health care systems have experienced 100 to 200 percent increases in COVID-19 hospitalizations in the past eight days and the vast majority of inpatients are unvaccinated" news.emory.edu/stories/2021/1…
