Show Notes
In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin discusses Merck's RSV preventative monoclonal antibody Clesrovimab before reviewing the recent statistics on SARS-CoV-2 infection, if previous SARS-COV-2 infections predict the outcome of subsequent infections, if using COVID rapid diagnostic tests is cost effective, if the protein based vaccine NVX-CoV2327 elicits a durable immune response, if combination treatment of vaccine and antiviral drugs effectively protect against hospitalization, where to find PEMGARDA, what do when healthcare workers succumb to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and how COVID-19 may alter the cognitive trajectories of older patients.
