Description

Guest: Megan Ogilvie, health reporter Health professionals are warning of an earlier than expected fourth wave of COVID-19 and the emergence of yet more fast-transmitting variants. While nothing has changed in terms of how we live with COVID, experts are saying this fourth pandemic autumn will be different from previous waves. This time around Canadians have tools to tackle the virus with high levels of immunity from a combination of vaccination and previous infection, and there are new, reformulated booster shots coming soon to specifically target the new subvariants. In today’s episode, we include all you need to know about the new booster shots and what to do to ride the expected pandemic waves of fall and winter. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Sean Pattendon and Brian Bradley. Audio Sources: CBC, Timiskaming Health Unit, Global News
