Health Matters - Have we lost our immunity to COVID-19?

Health Matters

Some experts warn many of us may have lost our COVID immunity, especially if we stopped at just three vaccinations years ago. COVID-19 is endemic here now, and we expect to see ups and downs, but are the recent numbers anything to be concerned over? The estimated number of COVID-19 cases rose to 14,200 (Apr 27 to May 3), up from 11,100 cases in the previous week. Average daily COVID hospitalisations are also up.

Health Matters - War Weary: Can overexposure to big global issues trigger genuine mental health concerns?

Sometimes, it may seem like too much. Could this seemingly never ending flow of international uncertainties weigh so heavily on you that it triggers or brings on genuine anxiety and tensions? Daniel Martin speaks with Dr Geraldine Tan, Director / Principal Clinical and Counselling Psychologist, The Therapy Room.
