It’s a full house Monday afternoon in the Jackson Memorial COVID ICU.

“This fourth wave, the unvaccinated pandemic is actually a super bad reality,” explained ICU Nurse Manager Alix Zacharski. “It’s the ugly truth for us.”

Zacharski told CBS4 all the patients here have several things in common – they’re younger and none of them are vaccinated.
