The head of Gundersen Health in La Crosse is warning young people to get vaccinated as they return to college campuses across the state.
Doctor Joshua Whitson posted a video message to the hospital system’s Facebook page late last week, expressing his fear that infection rates will increase if unvaccinated students return to campuses.
Doctor Whitson noted the severity of the Delta variant is much worse than cases we’ve seen throughout the earlier part of the pandemic. In Eau Claire County, health officials say last year they saw a sharp increase in cases among students aged 18 to 24-years old right as students were returning to college.
