COVID-19 Vaccine – What You Need to Know ZOOM Session
We will cover topics such as:
- Who is most at risk for getting sick from COVID?
- What is a vaccine?

- Myths vs. Facts
- How does the COVID vaccine work (including possible side effects)
- Where can I find information and updates about when I can get a COVID vaccine?
This will be a live session with the doctors with a Q & A portion after the presentation. Because we anticipate a large number of participants and duplicate questions, we ask that you submit your questions as you register for the session using this link:
