Viruses can’t mutate if they can’t replicate
The COVID-19 (https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19) virus mutates and replicates when people let down their guard and don't follow safety protocols, such as practicing social distancing and wearing a mask. "I think most of us expect a major surge because of spring break travel and the relaxation of restrictions," says Dr. Gregory Poland (https://www.mayoclinic.org/biographies/poland-gregory-a-m-d/bio-20053165), an infectious diseases expert and head of Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group (https://www.mayo.edu/research/labs/vaccine-research-group/overview). "And the sort of COVID fatigue that all of us feel, in one way or another." In this Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Poland addresses the potential of a fourth COVID-19 surge, new information regarding the COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women and he discusses research for next generation vaccines for COVID-19 variants.
