Lake County Health Officer Dr. Chandana Vavilala: How worried should we be about BA.5 variant

Provided

Lake County Health Officer Dr. Chandana Vavilala recently joined Lakeshore Public Radio's Dee Dotson to discus Omicron BA.5, the coronavirus strain that is currently outpacing other variants in infection and has become the dominant strain in the US as well as across the globe. The latest strain has the ability to reinfect people who have been vaccinated, received antibody treatments, or developed natural immunity from contracting the virus.

Dee Dotson is the host and producer of our radio show/podcast, Regionally Speaking. Dee is responsible for connecting with the northwest Indiana community to share their stories with the Lakeshore Public Media listening audience.
