Covid-19: Vaccines, Boosters, and Outpatient Therapies

In this Covid Grand Rounds, we bring back Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and member of the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee, to give us an update on vaccines. Paul will cover vaccines and boosters in kids, second boosters in adults, hybrid and infection-related immunity, and how well our vaccines are holding up against the new Omicron variants. In the second half of the session, UCSF’s Annie Luetkemeyer and Sarah Doernberg focus on treatments for Covid in outpatients, with an emphasis on the role and use of Paxlovid and options for immunosuppressed patients.

Paul Offit, MD, professor and director of the Vaccine Education Center, Division of Infectious Diseases, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; professor of vaccinology, University of Pennsylvania

Sarah Doernberg, MD, associate professor, Division of Infectious Diseases at UCSF Health; medical director of Adult Antimicrobial Stewardship at UCSF Medical Center
