Covid and the other respiratory viruses (RSV, Flu, etc) remain in circulation.
Please reschedule your appointments if you have any respiratory infection symptoms, even at the last moment without penalty.
Mask wearing is optional, and recommended when there is suspicion of exposure, as infections can take a few days to take hold. I continue to use medical-grade masks when in close face to face contact in the office.
In addition, I strongly encourage everyone to be current with vaccination/boosters unless there is a medical condition that makes the risk of reaction to the vaccine bigger than the risk of contracting Covid. We feel it is our responsibility as members of society to get vaccinated to protect those among us who are at high risk or can’t be vaccinated.
Thank you,
Dr Joe
