In our continuing series looking at the latest medical research and news on COVID-19, we speak with UCSF’s Dr. Peter Chin-Hong.

Today’s topics include:

Vaccine appointments open to all over 16 in California

Plus, when will vaccines be determined safe for those under 16?

A CDC committee has extended the pause on the J&J vaccine 

Who’s most affected by the pause? Likely  it’s underserved communities 

Breakthrough cases: The CDC found that a small group of patients got COVID even after vaccination - including 12 people in L.A. County 

A  research project led by the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health determined that neighborhoods with the worst air quality in L.A. County had the highest rate of COVID deaths

How worried should we be about the variants

The Staples Center is reopening at limited capacity today with the Lakers playing the Boston Celtics - so, it’s a good time to review best practices for moving about in the world 

Some are experiencing social anxiety as COVID restrictions ease

With guest host Austin Cross
