COVID-19 vaccination is about prevention. And in that respect, we failed—not just in preventing the pandemic, but in protecting Americans from its worst consequences: disease, death, and destitution. How could this have happened to the nation that was arguably in the best position to avert catastrophe? Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a physician, public health servant, epidemiologist, and recent author of the book Healing Politics, offers a unique and medically-informed perspective on what went wrong and strategies for getting it right.
The agenda will cover:
-
Health literacy, digital literacy, and science literacy hands on training sessions.
-
Panel discussion on best practices and strategies
-
COVID vaccine show and tell – peer to peer networking opportunity
