Webinar: COVID-19 Vaccines
April 22, 2021
We are now more than one year into the COVID-19 pandemic and nearly four months into vaccinating individuals in the United States. As more people become eligible for the vaccine and supply increases, we can now start to turn the discussion towards herd immunity and what will be required to return to more normal routines. On April 22, Dr. Fiorina Kyritsi and Dr. Sonya Stokes from Mount Sinai led a one-hour live discussion on the latest information on the COVID-19 vaccines and answered your vaccine questions.
