REINER Everyone should get ░░░░░░░░ and really be thankful ░░░░░░░░ where we are and ░░░░░░░░ far we ve come ░░░░░░░░ And what about if ░░░░░░░░ are unvaccinated family members ░░░░░░░░ want to come or ░░░░░░░░ in the family already ░░░░░░░░ think to myself I ░░░░░░░░ a mother of course ░░░░░░░░ thinking about children in ░░░░░░░░ who are either not ░░░░░░░░ to get their shots ░░░░░░░░ are only in the ░░░░░░░░ course of the treatment ░░░░░░░░ first shot at this ░░░░░░░░ in time Wwhat can ░░░░░░░░ do to protect the ░░░░░░░░ if that s the ░░░░░░░░ as well REINER Well ░░░░░░░░ think that particularly if ░░░░░░░░ are unvaccinated people such ░░░░░░░░ children there or folks ░░░░░░░░ are immunosuppressed maybe as ░░░░░░░░ consequence of illness or ░░░░░░░░ treatment of their illness ░░░░░░░░ the chronic medications we ░░░░░░░░ to protect them And ░░░░░░░░ I think if there ░░░░░░░░ unvaccinated people who live ░░░░░░░░ the home and are ░░░░░░░░ unvaccinated by choice then ░░░░░░░░ think you really shouldn ░░░░░░░░ have anyone else from ░░░░░░░░ the home unvaccinated come ░░░░░░░░ dinner I think that ░░░░░░░░ just a huge risk ░░░░░░░░ again I think we ░░░░░░░░ to avail ourselves of ░░░░░░░░ really readily available rapid ░░░░░░░░ which can be obtained ░░░░░░░░ local pharmacies 15 minute ░░░░░░░░ tests before you come ░░░░░░░░ then you know that ░░░░░░░░ people coming to your ░░░░░░░░ are not likely to ░░░░░░░░ an infection in anyone ░░░░░░░░ is susceptible The other ░░░░░░░░ of thinking of this ░░░░░░░░ that when you also ░░░░░░░░ older folks in the ░░░░░░░░ you really want to ░░░░░░░░ everything to protect them ░░░░░░░░ for older Americans they ░░░░░░░░ really the highest risk ░░░░░░░░ having something bad happen ░░░░░░░░ them should they get ░░░░░░░░ infection or breakthrough infection ░░░░░░░░ in the spirit of ░░░░░░░░ let s do everything ░░░░░░░░ can to protect the ░░░░░░░░ that we love COATES ░░░░░░░░ sound advice Thank you ░░░░░░░░ much Dr Reiner for ░░░░░░░░ us today about these ░░░░░░░░ important issues and helping ░░░░░░░░ to better prepare for ░░░░░░░░ s ahead this Thanksgiving ░░░░░░░░ eventually holiday season I ░░░░░░░░ you time as always ░░░░░░░░ you.”
