Modern primary and urgent care that combines a comfortable environment for your little ones with world-class care options.

Excellent pediatric primary and urgent care.  From our clinics to your home—we care everywhere.

It seems like each day brings more news of contagious COVID strains popping up around the globe. First the U.K. strain, now more in Brazil, South Africa and even Los Angeles, California. With  rising cases and new strains, we’re getting lots of questions about protecting kids and questions about when, how and what kind of masks families should be wearing. Brave Care pediatrician Dr. Joanna Zamora did a Q&A on the new, more contagious variants and she’s back answering parents’ practical questions about masks. 

Will wearing masks help protect my family and community from these more contagious variants of COVID-19?

Yes, wearing masks outside of the home, in every environment including outdoors, will help protect everyone from the more contagious variants of COVID-19. The new COVID variants, combined with pandemic fatigue and vaccine misconceptions, make proper mask use more important than ever. 

The best protection is achieved when the mask chosen for yourself and family members has the following characteristics:

It's made from several layers, ideally 3, of tightly woven fabric in order to be an effective filter. 

The mask is comfortable enough to wear properly without adjusting it for the amount of time you need to keep it on. 

It stays in place while talking and moving, so it can be worn without slipping and so it does not require you to touch it frequently.  

The mask has a flexible nose bridge to conform to the face and prevent fogging of eyeglasses. 

The mask conforms to your face without gaps so that most of the air you breath in and out flows through the mask rather than around the masks through gaps at the sides, top and bottom.  

The mask should not have an exhalation valve, even if the exhalation valve has a carbon filter.  

How do I know if my mask’s fabric or material is protective enough? 

Both the cloth and disposable masks you choose should pass both the light test and the candle test. For the light test, when you hold the mask up to the sun or a bright lamp to see how much light passes through, the less light that comes through the better. For the candle test (which you may have seen when Bill Nye used the test on TikTok), if you aren’t able to blow out a candle while wearing the mask, it’s a good sign that your mask is protective. Just don't get too close!

I've heard that some countries in Europe are requiring that everyone wear medical-grade masks. What does it mean for a mask to be "medical-grade?"

N95 respirators (USA), KN95s (China), KF94s (South Korea), and FFP2 (European Union) are medical grade masks that are designed to form a tight seal between the air outside and the face. They filter at least 94-95% of airborne particles. They're designed to protect healthcare workers from droplets in the air and provide a high level of protection against COVID-19 when properly fit-tested. Medical-grade masks are not recommended for use by the general public in the United States at this time. 

Surgical masks, even though they are often worn by medical workers, are not considered to be medical-grade masks. Surgical masks are disposable covers that are worn by medical professionals as personal protective equipment (PPE) during surgeries or other procedures. Surgical masks are designed to protect against large respiratory droplets but don’t protect against smaller droplets. These masks are less protective than respirators in large part because they lack a seal around the face, allowing air and droplets to escape and enter freely in the gaps around the mask.    

Are there medical grade masks for kids in the United States? 

While there are a few brands of children’s masks that are advertised as KN95 masks, there are no certified brands of medical-grade masks available for children. 

Disposable masks available for children are best understood as being just that, a disposable alternative to a cloth mask. Any disposable mask you purchase for your child should be tested with both the light and candle tests to help determine if the mask is effective, and the mask should have the characteristics of an effective mask as described above. 

I’ve heard that European countries are making people wear surgical masks; should I do that too? 

It is true that in recent weeks several European countries have announced mandates for the general population to wear medical-grade masks in all public spaces. 

In the future, we hope to be able to recommend a certified high-quality medical-grade mask for you and your family to wear to keep yourselves and others safe from the more contagious variants of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the United States is swamped with fraudulent medical-grade masks, some of which are completely ineffective. Furthermore, there is an ongoing concern about a potential shortage of medical-grade masks for health care and frontline workers in the United States. Until the United States is able to ensure the manufacture and distribution of enough certified high-quality medical-grade masks to serve the entire population, medical-grade masks are not recommended for the general public. For these reasons, it remains the official recommendation in the United States to continue to wear a multi-layer, well-fitting cloth mask. 

With that said, health experts are starting to suggest that essential workers like teachers, grocery-store clerks, public transit workers, and other frontline workers, as well as high-risk individuals with underlying medical conditions who have to be out in public, can consider wearing NIOSH-certified N95 and KN95 masks. There are several of these on the market for adults, and you can always ask your medical provider for advice to help prevent the purchase of fraudulent masks. Just as with cloth masks, it is important for NIOSH-certified masks to fit your face properly. 

What about double-masking? Is double-masking more effective against the virus?

Double-masking may provide more protection than a single mask as long as the double-mask is comfortable and does not require frequent adjustments. If your fabric mask does not have 3 layers or if a second mask allows for a better fit, double masking is a reasonable option for trips to the grocery store or other closed spaces.  

Everyone 2 years of age and older should wear an adequate mask in all public settings and when they are around people who do not live in their household. This applies to outdoor spaces as well. Individuals who have already been vaccinated against COVID-19 should also continue to wear a mask. 

What about when I can easily socially distance? Like while I’m walking the dog or in an outdoor area? 

If you are walking the dog or in an outdoor area where you can see other people, even if they are not exactly within 6 feet of you, it is recommended to wear a mask due to the possibility that you will come into contact with someone. Furthermore, it is best to simply leave on your mask when you are outside and might possibly come in contact with others, to avoid repeatedly touching your mask and face to put on and take off your mask.  

What about for kids? Can they skip masks in outdoor areas like on the playground or on hikes? 

If there are other people at the playground, and if you see other people on a hike or are passing other hikers, it is best for everyone, including children, to wear a mask. Since masks worn outdoors are more likely to get damp from sweat or rain, bring replacement masks to change out when needed while enjoying the outdoors.  

What about masks for high intensity activities?

Masks should be used in public settings, but if you are unable to wear a mask because of difficulty breathing during high intensity activities, do that activity outside and where you can keep at least 6 feet (ideally 12 feet) from others during the activity. If you are able to wear a mask, remove your mask if it gets damp from sweat and replace it with a clean mask. Opt for an activity that does not require using mouth guards or helmets. Wearing a mask with these types of protective equipment is not safe if it makes it hard to breath. Supervise children who are wearing a mask while playing sports.  

How can I make masks more comfortable for kids?

It takes some trial and error to determine which type of mask is most comfortable for your child. 

There are two main types of masks for children we recommend, Ear-Loop Style Masks and Tie-Behind Style Masks.  We find that children differ in terms of which type they prefer. 

PROS of Ear-Loop Style Mask: Easy elastic fit, no tying necessary, no interference with hair.

CONS of Ear-Loop Style Mask: tugging ears forward, may interfere with glasses, usually not adjustable.

PROS of Tie-Behind Style Mask: Easy elastic fit, no pulling on ears, less interference with glasses, adjustable tightness. 

CONS of Tie-Behind Style Mask: Tying or cinching is necessary, interferes with hair, harder for younger kids.  

The next variation to consider is the fit of the mask. Masks can have a fitted shape that clings to the nose and face, a pleated shape that fits almost any face or a predefined shape (sometimes called a Korean-fit) that stands out a bit from the nose and mouth. We find that many kids do well with the predefined style because it tends to sit farther away from the nose and mouth, providing a small air gap inside the mask, making it more comfortable. 

Children with glasses should have face masks with the following features:

An adjustable metal nose bridge helps tremendously with glasses fogging. 

If your child wears glasses, the tie-behind style face mask may be preferred to avoid interfering with glasses and causing discomfort. 

Here are a few other thoughts to consider if your child struggles with wearing a mask:

Some masks have a stronger odor than others, and they develop an odor when they are used. Always wash a mask before using it for the first time. Make sure your child brushes their teeth before wearing the mask. Consider changing your child’s mask half-way through the day so that your child’s mask always smells fresh. 

Some masks feel firm or hard against the face. Masks with a seam at the center of the nose area, or masks without a soft cotton inner lining, can be uncomfortable.  

Masks that require repeated and substantial manual adjustments are not comfortable. For example, masks that tie or cinch behind the head can be annoying because they need to be adjusted often and/or they can get tangled in hair. 

Some masks pull against the ears in a way that might be uncomfortable for your child. Masks without adjustable ear elastics can be uncomfortable throughout the school day.  

Masks that become wet for any reason need to be replaced with a dry mask, even if this means changing out the mask several times per day.

With children for whom these recommendations are not enough, or for whom these recommendations do not address the child’s specific needs and challenges, we recommend that you speak directly with your medical care provider for more specific advice. 

What about teens? How can I help my older kids with annoying masks? 

If your teen resists wearing a mask, find out where your teen is coming from. Your teen’s refusal to wear a mask might stem from a fear of “maskne!” which, if addressed and treated, can make wearing a mask a much less troubling situation for your teen. It is important to let teens know that their voice is being heard, especially since so many aspects of the pandemic are outside their control. It is also helpful to assess their perception of how others in their life, including friends, classmates, other family members, are dealing with the pandemic. This information will give you some insight into where your teen gets their information and what they value. Do this before addressing their behavior.  

Reference news stories in a matter-of-fact way. If you’re concerned about your teen’s lack of social distancing and/or mask wearing, a conversation about a current news story can prove a good jumping off point. While having the conversation, be matter of fact and honest without overdoing the fear or using the news story as a scare tactic.  

Encourage your teen to consider how their actions might impact others. Introduce the idea that wearing masks is important to protect other significant people in their lives, including their friends and their friends’ family members. 

Model the behavior you want to see. If parents are actively trying to wear masks and maintain social distancing, their children, including their teens, are likely to have similar practices. Adolescents need role models. Find a social media influencer that your teen admires that also promotes mask wearing, and point this out to your teen in a matter of fact way.  

Don’t give up: In conveying the importance of COVID safety to your teen or young adult, it’s important to stay the course - especially as schools begin to return to the classroom. Ultimately, some adolescents will refuse wearing masks as a form of defiance. Even so, continue to engage them and try to understand why they developed this opinion against masking. 

When will everyone be able to stop wearing masks?

The current estimate is that everyone will need to keep wearing a mask until 70-80% of the population is vaccinated against COVID-19, so at least until late 2021. While wearing masks is difficult, at Brave Care we have been impressed by how children of all ages have been able to rise to the challenge of mask-wearing with the proper guidance and encouragement from their caregivers. Fortunately, studies are starting to show that mask-wearing is not detrimental to children’s social and emotional development. Please let us know how Brave Care can help you and your family continue to get through this difficult time.

How to Wear a Mask in 2021: A Guide for Kids and Families

Our CMO Dr. Corey Fish took his phone along when he received his first dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. In this video, you'll hear why Dr. Corey was so excited to get the shot, his take on the rapid development of this vaccine and why vaccine side effects are a good thing for your immune system. 

0:33 Why the new COVID vaccines are safe, even with a rapid development timeline.

Vaccine makers didn’t skip steps when making the new COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccines go through a rigorous testing and trial process. (Learn more about that in our COVID vaccine Q&A.) And Dr. Corey immersed himself in all the emerging research as the vaccine was developed and trialed. Dr. Corey shares how powerful the scientific and medical community is when we all work together. 

1:28 Vaccines and your immune system; how the COVID-19 vaccines work.

Vaccine makers mapped the physical and genetic structures of the COVID-19 virus and created a vaccine that mimics the distinctive “spike protein” on the exterior of the virus. When the COVID-19 virus enters your system, the spike protein allows the virus to attach to and enter your cells - making you sick. By introducing just a bit of that spike protein, the COVID-19 vaccine allows your body to recognize that the spike protein is an invader.  So that when the actual COVID virus enters your body, your immune system already has the tools to recognize and attack the virus before it makes you sick. 

3:06 Common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine and why side effects are a good thing.

After getting the COVID vaccine, many people experience redness and soreness around the injection site. People have also reported headaches, chills, fevers, and muscle soreness among a few other symptoms. What these symptoms share is that they’re all common immune responses. Since the vaccine is designed to activate your immune system to defend itself against COVID-19’s distinctive spike protein, these responses are actually a good thing! It means the vaccine is working as designed. These side effects have typically been mild and short-lived with all the new vaccines.

If you're squeamish about needles, feel free to skip this part - no blood! Just a little poke, and Corey was on his way. For those interested, Corey's arm was sore the next day, but no other side effects with this first dose.

Does the vaccine work on the new strains of COVID-19?

The early indication is that the vaccine will be effective against emerging strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Additional recent data from Moderna has shown this to be true.

What does it mean when it says a strain is more “virulent”?

Virulence just means how easy it is for an illness to infect people and how sick it makes them. In the case of more “virulent” strains of SARS-CoV-2, this means that these strains can infect people faster, easier, and may make people sicker than less virulent strains.

I have a fever or am currently sick with COVID-19, should I still get the shot? 

Yes but the CDC currently recommends waiting until you are fever-free and either back to normal or close to back to normal before getting vaccinated.

I’m pregnant or expecting to become pregnant soon, should I get the COVID vaccine?

There’s limited data on covid vaccine and pregnancy. Neither Moderna nor Pfizer enrolled pregnant women in their studies. Because of that, the WHO is currently recommending against the vaccine at the time of this writing "except in those at high risk of exposure or having a severe case." The WHO does not recommend pregnancy testing before receiving the vaccine, nor does it recommend delaying pregnancy following vaccination.

I’m breastfeeding, should I get the COVID vaccine?

There is no data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in lactating people or the effects of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on the breastfed infant or milk production/excretion. mRNA vaccines are not thought to be a risk to the breastfeeding infant. A lactating person who is part of a group recommended to receive a COVID-19 vaccine (e.g., healthcare personnel) may choose to be vaccinated.

I’m immunocompromised, should I still get the COVID vaccine?

There is no data regarding vaccine safety if you are immunocompromised. Experts believe the vaccine is safe for this group so you may choose to receive it if you are immunocompromised.

I have an autoimmune condition, should I still get the COVID vaccine?

As long as there are no other contraindications to the vaccine, it is safe to receive if you have an autoimmune condition.

The Moderna vaccine is approved for people 18 years and older. It is not recommended at this time that those under 18 years of age receive this vaccine until more data is available for this age group.

What are the side effects of the COVID vaccine?

If I have side effects to the COVID-19 vaccine does that mean I am contagious?

No! Side effects to the vaccine are normal and an indication that the vaccine is doing what it’s supposed to be doing, which is teaching your body to generate an immune response if you’re exposed to COVID-19.

Can you catch COVID-19 directly after vaccination?

No vaccine is 100% effective and it takes a few weeks for the vaccine to do what it needs to do within your body. Because COVID-19 is still widespread, it’s important to continue to follow precautions such as masking and frequent cleaning and hand washing until these precautions are lifted.

If I already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated?

Yes. Because it is possible to become reinfected with COVID-19, it is important to be vaccinated when you are eligible.

Can I have an allergic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine?

Severe allergic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is extremely rare but possible. We will monitor you for 15-30 minutes after your vaccine. Should you develop symptoms of allergic reaction such as difficult or noisy breathing or swelling of your lips or face or hives, call 911 right away.

How long will the vaccine protect against COVID-19?

It is not known at this time how long or to what extent immunity will last.

If I get the COVID-19 vaccine do I still have to wear a mask and social distance?

Yes, until such time as these guidelines are lifted, it is important to wear a mask.

Do patients need to be observed after getting the vaccine?

If I just got another vaccine, can I get the COVID-19 Vaccine?

At this time, the CDC recommends that you wait 14 days from your last vaccine. You should also wait to receive another vaccine until 14 days after your COVID-19 vaccine.

Can you get the COVID-19 vaccine and another vaccine at the same time?

At this time, the COVID-19 vaccine should be administered by itself, at least 14 days from the date of your last vaccine. You should also wait at least 14 days from the date of your COVID-19 vaccine to receive another vaccine.

If you have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or an immediate allergic reaction—even if it was not severe—to any ingredient in an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine,  you should not get an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.*

If you have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or an immediate allergic reaction—even if it was not severe—after getting the first dose of the vaccine, you should not get another dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.*

An immediate allergic reaction means a reaction within 4 hours of getting vaccinated, including symptoms such as hives, swelling, or wheezing (respiratory distress).

This includes allergic reactions to polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polysorbate. Polysorbate is not an ingredient in either mRNA COVID-19 vaccine but is closely related to PEG, which is in the vaccines. People who are allergic to PEG or polysorbate should not get an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Corey from Brave Care gets the COVID vaccine.

Amid the swirl of coronavirus news, you may have seen troubling reports of a more contagious variant of the COVID-19 virus, spreading rapidly in the U.K. and beyond. Brave Care pediatrician Dr. Joanna Zamora  (“Dr. Z” for short) is answering common questions about the new variant.

Is the new variant in the US? Or just overseas? 

One of the new variants, known as the “U.K. variant,” or B.1.1.7, has become the predominant variant of the Sars-CoV-2 virus in the U.K.. It was first identified in the U.K. in September 2020, and it was first found in the United States in late December. As of this writing, it has now been found in at least five U.S. states and 33 countries. Even though it is called the U.K. variant, it's not clear where it originated. 

The current estimate is that B.1.1.7 represents about 1% of all infections in the U.S. Experts warn that the U.K. variant is most likely already too widespread to be contained in any specific state or region of the country. The CDC plans to launch a national surveillance program this month in order to better monitor the spread of variants of Sars-CoV-2 in the United States. Other variants, most notably from South Africa and Brazil, also appear to be more contagious and it seems inevitable that other variants like these will make their way to U.S. shores.

“Mutation, “variant, “strain,” etc. - What’s the difference between these words?

The term strain is only appropriate when referring to Sars-CoV-2, the virus causing the COVID-19 disease. Sars-CoV-2 is a strain of the wider coronavirus family, including SARS, MERS and less severe viruses that cause things like the common cold.

The term variant refers to slightly different versions of the Sars-CoV-2 virus that result from frequent mutations within the genome of the Sars-CoV-2 virus. 

Viruses are known to mutate very often. It’s kind of their thing. The SARS-CoV-2 virus acquires about one new mutation in its genome every two weeks. These mutations lead to variants of SARS-CoV-2 that behave slightly differently from one another, but still cause the COVID-19 disease.  

Most mutations are either harmless or make the virus less effective. The mutations that led to the U.K. variant (23 mutations in total) have made the U.K. variant more contagious. 

What does “more contagious” mean, practically speaking?

“More contagious” means that the variant infects people more easily and quickly than other strains. Scientists in the U.K. estimate that the U.K. variant is 40-70% more transmissible than the initial predominant Sars-CoV-2 virus based on analysis of affected populations in Britain.

What makes the U.K. COVID-19 variant more contagious? 

The U.K. variant has several mutations that affect the “spike protein” on the virus surface that attaches to human cells. The spike protein of the U.K. variant is able to bind to the receptors on human cells more easily, allowing it to be transmitted from person to person more quickly, and making it easier for people of all ages to get infected with the variant. “Stickier spikes,” to put it another way.

Does the new U.K. variant of COVID-19 cause more severe symptoms? 

There is no evidence that the U.K. variant causes more severe illness. There is also no indication that the variant is more lethal, except to the extent that hospitals will become more overburdened with cases and thus less able to provide high-level care to every patient. There is some concern that the variant may not be as responsive to some available treatments for COVID-19 such as convalescent plasma and monoclonal antibodies, but this isn’t clear yet.

Are my children and family more at risk from the U.K. variant? 

Unfortunately, yes. Because of its increased contagiousness, experts believe that the U.K. variant will become responsible for a majority of all new infections in the U.S. by March. Experts are concerned that the U.K. variant will lead to infection rates even higher than the rates we are seeing now. This will make it much harder to contain the spread of COVID-19 and will overburden our already stressed healthcare system. With this more contagious variant, super-spreader events will be more likely and more risky. The U.K. variant also infects a higher proportion of individuals under age 20, raising concerns about reopening schools and universities.  

Are the current COVID tests effective for the new variant? 

Now more than ever, frequent rapid testing for COVID-19 within families and communities will be a useful tool to help minimize the spread of the highly contagious U.K. variant. Most currently approved COVID tests are still effective for detecting the new variant. 

The FDA reports that no test is perfect, and that false negative results may occur with any molecular test for the detection of COVID-19 if a mutation occurs in the part of the virus’ genome assessed by that test. 

The FDA continually monitors the effects of different variants (including the U.K. variant) on authorized molecular tests for the detection of COVID-19, and promptly updates clinical laboratory staff and health care providers accordingly. Your health care provider should be aware of these updates, so talk with your health care provider if you have concerns about the effectiveness of any particular COVID test. 

Will the vaccine be effective against the new variant? 

Researchers believe current COVID-19 vaccines will continue to be effective, but will still require an aggressive vaccination campaign in order to get the pandemic under control in the face of a highly contagious variant. Studies are currently underway to help confirm that the COVID-19 vaccines will be effective against the U.K. variant. According to the CDC, the virus would likely need to accumulate many more mutations in the spike protein to evade immunity induced by vaccines or by natural infection. The sooner everyone gets vaccinated, the less time the virus will have to accumulate more mutations. 

Is there anything I can do to protect my family from the new COVID-19 variant? Do we need to do anything differently than before?

Because the new strain is more contagious and is more easily spread in individuals under age 20,  it is more important than ever for families to continue social distancing and to follow routine precautions such as mask wearing and frequent hand-washing. 

It is also recommended to have a low threshold for rapid COVID-19 testing if there are any concerns that someone in your family may have been exposed to or may have contracted the virus. 

If an individual has been exposed to COVID-19, it is more important than ever for that individual to follow the recommended 14 day quarantine, regardless of a negative COVID-19 test result within the 14 day quarantine window.

What else should families and communities know about the new variant?

Even though news of a more contagious COVID-19 variant isn’t what anyone wanted to hear at the beginning of 2021, it is important to keep in mind that the end of the pandemic is still on the horizon. In the next few weeks we will have more information to hopefully confirm that our current vaccines remain highly effective, even in the face of the U.K. variant. Experts still believe that vaccination against COVID-19 is the ultimate solution to this pandemic. The next few months will be challenging and full of complex questions, so please let us know how Brave Care can help.
