A new variant for COVID has some doctors concerned leading into the Summer, especially as things start to open up again. The Delta Variant, which was first discovered in India, has slowly made its way to the US. According to the CDC, ten percent of the COVID-19 cases in the US are the Delta Variant. HSHS Health Experts want to address some concerns. 

The CDC says that the Delta Variant transmits easier than some of the other variants do but both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are highly effective against it. Most health experts believe that the vaccine will be key in stopping the virus from developing and mutating even more.
