Common Questions about COVID-19 Vaccines:
Variant Strains of COVID-19
What is Bolivar Medical Center doing to prepare for the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant?
Our team is highly skilled at managing and treating infectious diseases of all types, including COVID-19. MG冰球突破官网将继续严格遵循美国疾病控制与预防中心和MG冰球突破官网当地/州卫生部门的指导,并遵守MG冰球突破官网工厂一直实施的严格的健康和安全协议. These operating protocols were further enhanced when the pandemic began and include:
- Requiring masking for everyone inside our facilities
- Screening for COVID-19 symptoms
- Enhanced cleaning and disinfection protocols
- Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
- Isolating patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19
Is the Omicron variant more contagious than other strains?
早期数据表明,欧米克隆可能比任何其他已确定的菌株(包括德尔塔变异)更具传染性,这意味着它更具传染性. Omicron has been detected in most U.S. states and is rapidly increasing the proportion of COVID-19 cases it is causing. The CDC expects that anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or don’t have symptoms.
Is the Omicron variant more deadly than Delta or other previous strains?
随着研究的继续发展,MG冰球突破官网仍在了解欧米克隆变体的特征. 目前,MG冰球突破官网知道你能做的最好的事情就是接种COVID-19疫苗来帮助保护自己. Vaccinated individuals are significantly less likely to spread the virus, become severely ill if they do contract COVID-19, require hospitalization or die.
Do current COVID-19 vaccines protect against the Omicron variant?
Studies are ongoing, but current vaccines are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths due to infection with the Omicron variant.
Is HOSPITAL testing COVID-19-positive patients for the Omicron variant?
We are/are not testing patients with COVID-19 to determine which strain they may have. The specific type of variant doesn’t impact how we care for COVID-19 patients, 它也不会影响现有的健康和安全协议,以保护MG冰球突破官网的团队和所有进入MG冰球突破官网设施的人.
What should our community do to slow the spread of the Omicron variant?
We already have the right tools at our disposal to combat Omicron. 最好的防御是接种COVID-19疫苗,并鼓励你认识的每个人接种疫苗. At this point, MG冰球突破官网看到的大多数因COVID-19住院的患者都没有接种疫苗. It is also wise to wear a mask, 与他人保持社交距离并保持适当的手部卫生,以帮助减缓疾病的传播.
If I have already been vaccinated, 我是否应该注射加强针来进一步保护自己免受欧米克隆变异病毒的侵害?
Yes. If you meet the criteria for receiving a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, 强烈建议你尽快接种疫苗,以帮助保护自己,防止疾病传播. The CDC recommends that everyone ages 18 years and older should get a booster shot at least two months after their initial J&J/Janssen疫苗或完成辉瑞- biontech或Moderna的COVID-19初次接种系列后6个月.
如果我已经接种了欧米克隆变种疫苗,突破性感染的可能性会更大吗?
Breakthrough cases of COVID-19 are possible regardless of the specific variant, as no vaccine is 100% effective. The good news is that even if you contract COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, you are significantly less likely to become severely ill or require hospitalization.
Has the Omicron variant been identified in our community?
关于Omicron变体在MG冰球突破官网社区中的存在和影响的最佳信息来源是 local health department.
Will there be other strains of SARS-CoV-2?
It is 病毒发生变异并发展出新的毒株是正常的——流感病毒每年都会发生这种情况, for example. Because of this, there are several different strains of the SARS-CoV-2 currently circulating, and it is likely that other strains may develop over time. 接种COVID-19疫苗非常重要,可以帮助保护自己和他人免受任何病毒株的感染.
Bolivar Medical Center Urges Community Members to Wear Masks
MG冰球突破官网敦促社区成员在不易保持社会距离的公共场所佩戴口罩或布口罩,以帮助阻止新冠病毒的传播. 这与疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)和州卫生部的建议一致, as being an effective way to prevent the spread of the illness. 该医院已经在其设施内制定了一项通用的口罩协议,要求任何进入医院的人都要戴口罩.
