There’s a lot of talk about COVID vaccines, the Delta Variant, and the ongoing impact to those who have had COVID and are still experiencing symptoms. Join Capt. John Iskander, chief of Preventive Medicine and Population Health for the Coast Guard as he discusses the latest findings of COVID from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Iskander will also discuss what we can do to help the members within our Coast Guard family as they face LONG COVID, the name given to the ongoing symptoms that millions have reported after suffering from the COVID-19 infection. The discussion will take place on Coast Guard Teams at 3 p.m., EDT.
