Our guest today for another edition of Midday Healthwatch is Dr. Leana Wen.

The uptick in COVID cases that began during the summer is continuing. Other than anecdotal evidence how do we know how much COVID is out there? What, if anything, should we do about it?

A new COVID vaccine should be available in just a few weeks while RSV and the flu vaccines are available now. We look to Dr. Wen for guidance on who should get them and when. 

We also talk about the health dangers of extreme heat.
