Summary

Panelists discussed Omicron and its implications for medical practices, covering topics such as PPE, IPAC, testing, and vaccines. Key points include:

Using N95 masks for suspected COVID patients and considering their use for all patients due to asymptomatic transmission.
Ensuring adequate supplies of well-fitting masks, including KN95 or N95, with KN95 being a good option for community use.
Wearing medical grade masks or KN95 masks for patients in offices.
Using judgement to determine if N95/KN95 masks are necessary for in-person encounters.
Updated guidance allows family physicians to access the provincial stockpile of N95 masks.
Considering HEPA filters in exam rooms, especially in older offices with poorer ventilation.
Rapid testing before holiday gatherings can be beneficial, with small gatherings and RAT testing being the safest option.
mRNA booster doses do not cause falsely positive rapid antigen tests.
All rapid antigen tests licensed in Canada have similar performance characteristics.
Triple vaccinated asymptomatic individuals who have contact with someone COVID-positive should test if it's a high-risk contact, with PCR being better than RAT.
Rapid test kits can be accessed through the provincial stockpile or other distribution channels.
Positive rapid tests should be confirmed with PCR tests to avoid false positives.
* For booster shots, Moderna might be slightly better for older adults and severely immunocompromised individuals, but the difference is not significant enough to prioritize one vaccine over another.
