UCSD study exploring vaccine's benefit to baby in pregnant women
San Diego County hospitals saw a sudden increase in coronavirus-related admissions Wednesday, according to the region’s latest weekly COVID-19 report.
Dr. Jess Mandel, chief of pulmonary and critical care at UC San Diego Health, said the sudden spike got the attention of number watchers at the university, but at the moment, there does not appear to be a particular cause for alarm. The prevalence of home testing also means that public health totals are increasingly incomplete because results obtained at home generally go unreported.
Exactly how much protection is conferred, based on factors such as the trimester of vaccination, is among the questions being explored by an ongoing study led by UC San Diego researchers.
