COVID-19 Boosters with Infectious Diseases Expert Dr. Peter Chin-Hong – LIVE on Ask Dr. Drew

Infectious diseases expert Dr. Peter Chin-Hong believes a booster dose could move the vaccines from preventing serious illness or death to preventing contraction of COVID-19 altogether. He discusses his research with Dr. Drew LIVE.

Dr. Peter Chin-Hong is Associate Dean for Regional Campuses. He is a medical educator who specializes in treating infectious diseases, particularly infections that develop in patients who have suppressed immune systems.  He directs the immunocompromised host infectious diseases program at UCSF. His research focuses on donor derived infections in transplant recipients and molecular diagnostics of infectious diseases in patients with suppressed immune systems.
