The AAFP recently invited Dr. Cameron Webb to join AAFP President Dr. Sterling Ransone in addressing COVID-19 vaccine questions that may be top of mind for family physicians.

This converation covers multiple topics, including: 

• How the vaccination efforts for young children are going.
• Why immunization rates are declining for children and how the administration is addressing this concern.
• The latest COVID-19 variant, and what we should expect with the emergency of future variants. 
• The latest guidance on COVID-19 booster shots and therapeutics, especially Paxlovid.
• The upcoming influenza season, with a focus on flu vaccines and access to the vaccines.
