Description

Vaccines being administered across the United States and around the world are providing a much needed dose of hope in the fight against COVID-19. With millions of Americans receiving their shots each day, different vaccines being used, and new variants emerging, expert guidance is needed to help us understand critical issues regarding immunity, vaccine efficacy and safety, and how to answer many questions that remain, including:

  • How do the different authorized vaccines protect us from COVID-19?
  • What do the new coronavirus variants mean for vaccine efficacy?
  • How long do we expect immunity from vaccines and/or previous infection to last?
  • Should we expect booster or seasonal vaccinations in the future?
  • How will vaccines bring an end to the pandemic?

Join us as Deepta Bhattacharya, PhD, expert immunologist at the University of Arizona who studies responses to vaccines and infections, separates facts from fiction about COVID-19 vaccines.
