Racial Disparities at Every Stage of COVID-19: Infections, Hospitalizations, Death Rates… and Now the Vaccine
Year: 2021 | Competency/Strategic Skill: Cultural Competence, Diversity and Inclusion | Priority Topic: Other Infectious Disease | Setting: Online | Format: On-demand | Sponsor: Emory University/Central Office
Overview:
This is a 90-minute recording of a webinar held on February 8, 2021.
During this webinar we will discuss how the existing racial disparities and health inequities in our country have amplified the effects of COVID-19. From infection rates, hospitalizations, and deaths, communities of color have been impacted by COVID-19 at higher rates. Now, after more than a year since the world woke to a spreading viral pandemic, an effective COVID-19 vaccine offers protection and a promise of normal life. But a final-step challenge persists – getting the vaccine into the arms of people who need it most. Please join us for a presentation and conversation with Taison Bell, MD and moderated by Sam Fulwood, PhD.
