A study published last month shows people with low levels of Vitamin D are at greater risk for COVID-19 infection. Despite that, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force says there is insufficient evidence to recommend screening asymptomatic patients. GPB’s Ellen Eldridge reports.

A link between low levels of vitamin D and risk for COVID-19 exists, according to a study published in March that suggests randomized clinical trials are needed to determine whether increasing vitamin D levels affect COVID-19 risk, especially in Black individuals.

Dear Dr. Camardi,
Iâm dropping you a line to let you know that Dad died last month from the one disease you fought so hard to save him from: prostate cancer. You always gave Dad a good going-over for his physical, and when you said he was doing alright, we could see it and we believed you. Maybe we didnât agree on everything, but you always got the big stuff right. I mean like the PSA test. Get past a certain age around here, and they just donât do it, and thatâs what happened to Dad. You did his PSA for nine years running, so we knew where we stood. Here they just stopped because they said you were wrong and it didnât matter at his age. About two years after we got here, he couldnât pee one day and his prostate was a big as all get-out. He had cancer all over and we went through years of hell and he had so much pain. Many times, I thought back then that we didnât have to face this if they stayed on top of it.
