BEN: THE CDC WANTS MORE AMERICANS TO WEAR FACE MKSAS AGAIN IN CERTAIN SETTINGS, EVEN IF THEY’RE FULLY VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-.19 HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS IS DR. HELEN BOUCHER, THE INTERIM DEAN OF TUFTS MEDICAL SCHOOL AND AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST AT TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER. THIS NEW GUIDANCE APPLIES TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH INFECTION RATES. WE KNOW HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS, THAT DOES INCLUDE CAPE COD. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? >> THIS MEANS THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE SEEING CI RCULATING VIS.RU THIS DELTA VARIANT IN PARTICULAR. THIS IS A RISKOR F ON — FOR UNVACCINATED INDIVIDUALS. THE FINDINGS ARE CONCERNING ENOUGH TO THE CDC THAT THEY MADE ETH RECOMMENDATION THAT IN AREAS OF HIGHER SUBSTANTIAL RISK, ERYONE MASK UP INDOORS. WE ARE HEARING FROM THE STATE ABOUT OF — SHAYNA: WE KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED CAN GET COVID, AND WE’VE SEEN MORE BREAKTHROUGH INFECTIONS RECENTLY IN PLACES LIKE PROVINCETOWN. IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THEY’RE ALSO SPREADING THE VIRUS TO OTHERS? >> THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. I WTAN TO EMPHASIZE THAT ALL THE DATA WE HAVE SHOW THE VACCINES ARE VERY EFFECTIVE. 95% EFFECVETI IN THE REAL WORLD, INCLUDING THE VARIANT. WHATE W ARE LEARNING, AND WHAT THE CDC SHARED TODAY, IS THAT THE LELVE OF VIRUS THAT CAN BE CARRIED BY A VACCINATED INDIVIALDU INFECTED IS AS HIGH AS AN UNVACCINATED INDIVIDUAL. SO THEY MAY BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT THE VIRUS. WE HAVE NOT SEEN FULL DATA, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT RISK THE CDC LTFE IT IMPORTANT TO MAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION. BEN: A LOT OF PARENTS ARE — LIKE MYSELF AND SHAYNA, HAVE YOUNG UNVACCINATED CHILDREATN HO.ME THEY ARE DEPENDING ON THESE VACCINES TO PROTECT THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN. WHAT’S YOUR ADVICE? WHEN I GO TOWARD GROCERY STORE ONCE AGAIN N,OW I AM WEARING THIS FACEMASK. >> OF COURSE I THINK IT IS FINE. I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD DO WHAT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE, THESE VACCINES ARE INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE. IN MOST OF OUR ESTATE, THE RATES OF INFECTION ARE STILL LOW. UNLESS YOU ARE IN ONE OF THOSE AREAS OF HHIG AND SUBSTANTIAL TRANSMISSION, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ALL OF SUA DDEN ULTRA CAN DO IS GET VACCINATED AND TALK TO OUR FAT — OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT YET. SHAYNA: IF I ENTER A STORE WITHOUT A FACE MASK, WHAT’MYS RISK OF GETTING THE VIRUS FROM ANOTHER CUSTOMER? WILL THE VACCINE PROTECT ME? >> THE VACCINE WILL PROTECT YOU. THE AREA TO BE CONCERNED IS THE AREAS WHERE THERE IS HIGH AND SUBSTANTIAL RISK FOR TRANSMISSION. WHERE THE RATES ARE HIGHER RIGHT NOW MAY STILL JUST BE CAPE COD. YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO LOCAL GUIDANCE AND DO EVERYTNGHI YOU CAN TO PREVENT — IN THOSE AREAS, JUST GET VACCINATED. IF YOURE A VACCINATED, YOU ARE WELL PROTECTED AND HAVE LESS RISK. BEN: DR.
