Session Will Provide Details on COVID-19 Vaccines and Emerging Variants

During an “Ask the Expert” presentation, Johannes W. Vieweg, M.D., FACS, the dean and chief academic officer for the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine, will address the public health value of the COVID-19 vaccines, information on the recovery plan to manage the production, distribution and administration of the FDA approved vaccines, and the new emerging COVID-19 variants. The presentation will be on Wednesday, July 14 at 12:30 p.m.

Public health officials are working to learn more about how easily the new emerging variants can spread, whether they could cause more severe illness, and whether currently authorized vaccines will protect people against them. COVID-19 has exposed a changed world, which requires educating our community in order to help people better navigate the changes.
