Dr. Jill Amsberry

CentraCare Spokesperson Dr. Jill Amsberry joined me on WJON this week. We discussed the vaccination process of the newest eligible age group that can get the COVID-19 vaccine. Amsberry says 30% of 12-16 year olds in Minnesota have had at least one dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

CentraCare officials say the first doses were given to hospitalists and ICU nurses working in the COVID critical care unit at St. Cloud Hospital.

Halloween is a bit different in 2020 due to Covid-19. Pediatrician Dr. Jill Amsberry from CentraCare joined me on WJON. She suggests that trick or treaters are from the same household, cloth masks are a part of each costume, and social distance is observed.

I talked with Dr. Jill Amsberry from CentraCare today on WJON. Our discussion was about why the number of people confirmed with Covid-19 that are 18 and under is increasing, how kids should stay safe, how they should handle outdoor play and interactions with parents and grandparents.
