In this Covid Grand Rounds, we’ll begin with a pandemic update from Monica Gandhi and Peter Chin-Hong. We’ll discuss the CDC’s new mask guidance, the Omicron sub-variant, infection-related and hybrid immunity, and what it means to enter the “endemic phase.”
 
In the second segment, Bonnie Maldonado of Stanford University will give us a vaccine update, including the evidence of waning immunity after vaccination, the prospects for a second booster, the state of vaccines for children, and new vaccine candidates, including Omicron-specific boosters.
