Coronavirus Q&A

Q: My son and daughter-in-law are not vaccinated. My husband and I are in our 70s. We are both fully vaccinated. Is it safe for them to visit and come for dinner?

It depends, said Dr. Samir Sinha, NIA Director of Health Policy Research. “We know that these unvaccinated folks, they might be asymptomatic, but they may still be able to easily transmit the virus to their loved ones,” he said.

He recommends looking at an online tool developed by the National Institute on Ageing that will walk you through the risks of a given social situation.
