What are the health care protocols in a postpandemic world?

ABSTRACT

A brief look back On lanuary 31, 2020, US Secretary of Health & Human Services Alex Azar declared the COVID-19 virus a public health emergency and ordered all US citizens returning from the Wuhan, China, region to quarantine for 2 weeks. Rapid diagnostic tests were quickly distributed, personal protective equipment (PPE) was secured, and vaccines were developed in record time. A recent study suggests that young children mount a T-cell activation when exposed to non-COVID-19 seasonal coronavirus infections, which either prevents COVID-19 infections or provides enough protection to render most infections mild.2 In addition, despite the endorsement of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the CDC, not many young children were vaccinated against COVID-19 once the FDA approved it use, eventually allowing it to be administered to those as young as 6 months.
