Every day, our newsroom’s call-in show,
AirTalk, welcomes a physician to answer listeners’ questions about COVID-19 and the vaccine. Earlier this week, host Larry Mantle spoke with
Dr. Dean Blumberg, a professor of medicine and the chief of pediatric infectious diseases at U.C. Davis Children s Hospital. Here are some of the questions he got, and his answers. (The conversation has been edited for length and clarity):
It would appear we re going to be awash in vaccines pretty soon. Are we close to having vaccines with no takers?
Yes, that s what the models suggest. We know that there was a lot of demand for vaccines at the beginning, and we also know that there are still people who are vaccine-hesitant, or really anti-vaccine. As the people who want the vaccine get vaccinated, there eventually will be more vaccine available than people demand.
