00:01:45.250 --> 00:01:48.600 Meanwhile mcdermott doctor bob has requested emergency 00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:55.280 authorization from the fda for use of...vaccine and twelve the...study show 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.830 about the efficacy of shots and teens and how critical is it that people 00:01:59.830 --> 00:02:04.790 ...a parents bring their children to get the vaccine? 00:02:04.790 --> 00:02:06.210 Well,...that's a multi 00:02:06.210 --> 00:02:11.100 part question and let me respond by saying that it's essential to have young people 00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:16.140 immunized because of the variance now the vaccines that we know 00:02:16.140 --> 00:02:19.570 better here in the us are extremely...against 00:02:19.570 --> 00:02:23.910 protecting us from the variance south african brazilian and the british 00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:28.550 variant there's no delta variant that comes out of india very transmission 00:02:28.550 --> 00:02:31.600 bull very infectious we're not so sure about 00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:36.430 our vaccine coverage there but we do know that if that...is in the us 00:02:36.430 --> 00:02:40.890 is likely to infect all of us and perhaps young 00:02:40.890 --> 00:02:45.840 peoplethose young people who are not vaccinated who can transmit that 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.730 variant to adults who are not vaccinated now the 00:02:49.730 --> 00:02:54.120 other person is probably not going to get very sick because as we know the corona virus doesn't have much of 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.720 an effect on young people as a rule but we're worried about 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:03.010 the transmits ability of a variant like the delta variant so it's important to 00:03:03.010 --> 00:03:07.660 immunize your youngster and protect them because there's this rare instance of ladd 00:03:07.660 --> 00:03:15.490 a young person getting very sick with multi system inflammatory syndrome, for example. 00:03:15.490 --> 00:03:20.000 Another cdc report shows that many children are still behind on routine 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.410 vaccinations following a steep decline last year and a lot of people not just kids but a 00:03:24.410 --> 00:03:29.440 lot of people kind of avoided going to the doctor during the height of the pandemonium so some of those 00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:32.480 checkups routine vaccinations that kind of fell by the way it 00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:36.440 by the wayside are you concerned about the drop in vaccinations for 00:03:36.440 --> 00:03:41.960 kids yes the blue core blue cross blue shield study showed that forty 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.540 percent of children out there missed their shots and this is called 00:03:46.540 --> 00:03:51.330 weld child checkups now I'm not a pediatrician but I do know that and, you know, 00:03:51.330 --> 00:03:56.170 that children have to be vaccinated against things like measles and 00:03:56.170 --> 00:04:00.020 dip theory...and purr classes which is what whooping cough 00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:04.290 these things are important across all age groups now 00:04:04.290 --> 00:04:08.930 understandably parents have kept their kids away from their doctors and vaccination 00:04:08.930 --> 00:04:13.750 centers during the pandemonium for fear that the child might get corona virus or that they 00:04:13.750 --> 00:04:18.800 might get corona virus but this has resulted in a decrease in 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.490 the normal childhood shots and click complicate things when kids go back-to-school 00:04:23.490 --> 00:04:28.070 in the fall measles is very deadly among children unlike of 00:04:28.070 --> 00:04:32.360 the corona virus measles can really it's very ineffective 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:37.010 it can go through an entire classroom in a couple of hours and the kids can get 00:04:37.010 --> 00:04:42.260 very sick and of course some of them can get very...sick with pneumonia and even 00:04:42.260 --> 00:04:45.960 die so this is what our concern is we need to have 00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:51.320 kids vaccinatednow if you're planning to send your child back-to-school or even 00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:57.640 if you're not planning to join your child back-to-school they should have their shots as planned. 00:04:57.640 --> 00:05:02.850 The cdc doctor bob is made a change to it'stransit mask policy where 00:05:02.850 --> 00:05:07.490 our fully where fully vaccinate people are no longer 00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:11.360 to required to wear masks? 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.860 Yeah, that's very interesting outdoors you do not have to wear 00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:20.860 mesh so if you're on a ferry boat or you're...that second decade that tour bus where you are 00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:25.790 outside or you're in a trolley outdoors you don't have to wear masks but 00:05:25.790 --> 00:05:30.220 if you're in an airplane and you're in a bus inside the bus or 00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:35.280 other convey...unique to wear a mask and that is logical 00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:41.340 and common sense if you're indoors you still need to where the mask. 00:05:41.340 --> 00:05:44.090 Okay, we've got to have planes and trains. 00:05:45.650 --> 00:05:50.400 What about boats two passengers on a royal caribbean celebrity cruise 00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:55.270 tested positive for the corona virus so this ship was only allowing fully 00:05:55.270 --> 00:05:59.610 ...people on board so you can you explain how we can get 00:05:59.610 --> 00:06:04.970 two passengers that tested positive that...saw that report 00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:10.250 ...that really blew my mind because I cannot understand how that happened but I've heard it happen now 00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:15.050 one to cruise ships...two people that were positive were on this 00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:19.860 ship they were if they had to be vaccinated before they got on and they 00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:21.910 have to have a negative test seventy two 00:06:21.910 --> 00:06:26.590 ...before they got on the ship and yet despite all of that 00:06:26.590 --> 00:06:31.280 two people were positive at least on the one cruise ship that's been reported 00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:34.410 added six hundred passengers and six hundred-fifty crew 00:06:34.410 --> 00:06:39.060 to people positive despite all of the precautions that were taken 00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:44.260 I cannot explain that and I'm sure they'll be a logical answer coming out of the out 00:06:44.260 --> 00:06:48.420 of the cruise company shortly? 00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:52.960 Yeah, you know, I think it just proves that we continue to learn about this virus as an awful lot that we have 00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:57.100 learned over the past year plus...we don't which is why, 00:06:57.100 --> 00:07:01.550 you know, the cdc has been moving forward but moving forward slowly in terms 00:07:01.550 --> 00:07:07.000 of lifting restrictions as we get more information than we can offer more freedoms to people 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:13.150 it just kind of reinforces that point doctor bottling data thank you so much thank you.
