Details: Getting COVID-19 vaccine to as many people as possible as quickly as possible is critical as the pandemic rages on. The COVID-19 vaccine rollout is an enormous, challenging undertaking. Already there have been issues related to vaccine supply chain, distribution, and coordination. Even under the best of circumstances, hesitancy towards vaccines is rampant. Join this session with Rachael Piltch-Loeb, PhD MSPH, to hear more about the vaccine rollout, vaccine hesitancy, and what you should think about professionally and personally when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine. The session will include a brief presentation and a Question and Answer session.
