(CBS4)- Despite good progress on vaccinations in the state, Colorado is seeing the highest number of hospitalizations due to COVID since February. Both the 7-day rolling average of new hospitalizations and number of new hospital admissions are up according to the state’s data . The arrival and distribution of the vaccine has given hope that we may be nearing the end of the pandemic, but given the current numbers, it’s clear there is still some way to go. Still, CBS4 Medical Editor Dr. Dave Hnida is optimistic about the progress that he’s seeing. “Interesting, you know, it seems like we’re always using the race analogy,” said Hnida in his weekly interview on CBS4 Medical Editor Dr. Dave Hnida . “When we talk about this, you know, vaccinations versus cases and variants. We are still in the race, we’re going to win this race.” READ MORE: Mass Vaccination Sites In Colorado Now Open To Walk-Ups: 'No More Excuses' Though he is confident that the race will be won, Hnida is … [Read more...] about As Colorado COVID Hospitalizations Mount, Dr. Dave Hnida Cautions Residents: ‘We Are Still In The Race’

BOSTON (CBS) — Dr. Mallika Marshall is answering your coronavirus vaccine-related medical questions. If you have a question, email her or message her on Facebook or Twitter . Dr. Mallika is offering her best advice, but as always, consult your personal doctor before making any decisions about your personal health. Tracy writes, “How bad are the side effects if you have COPD or have had a double bypass? I’m 53 with COPD and my mom is 70 with a double bypass.” Having underlying lung or heart disease does not mean you’re going to have more or fewer side effects from the COVID-19 vaccines. Some people have no side effects at all. Younger people tend to have more side effects than older people. But it’s hard to predict who will have side effects or which side effects you’ll develop but usually, they are mild to moderate and last no more than 24-36 hours. Please get your vaccines. George asks, “Am I correct in assuming that the air dryers in many (if not most) of public … [Read more...] about Can Shingles Affect The COVID Vaccine? Dr. Mallika Marshall Answers Your Questions

Hnida was asked about whether the COVID vaccine will wind up being somewhat like the annual flu shot. “Variants are a big thing when it comes to COVID, and they’re a big thing when it comes to … [Read more...] about Mixing & Matching?

Photo: Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty Images A year ago, New York City became the COVID-19 epicenter of the world. According to new research by city health officials, nearly a quarter of adult New Yorkers were infected during last spring’s catastrophic wave. Researchers at the Department of Health and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health looked at antibody-testing data for more than 45,000 city residents last year. In the new study, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases , they found the toll of infection was worse among Black and Hispanic residents, who were twice as likely as white New Yorkers to have antibodies for COVID-19. (The presence of antibodies serves as evidence of past infection.) “Given disparities in infection risk, effective interventions for at-risk groups are needed during ongoing transmission,” the study’s authors concluded. … [Read more...] about 1 in 4 New Yorkers Were Infected in First Surge of Virus, Study Finds
