Video Webinars - Outbreak: Epidemics in a Connected World
Presented by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, this weekly webinar series focuses on the global spread of COVID-19. The webinars in this series explore the factors that increase the risk that new diseases will emerge and provide an intellectual framework for understanding how viruses can spill over from animals and become a global pandemic.
Vaccines and Society
Tuesday, July 14, 2020 | 12:30 pm (EDT)
A broadly disseminated COVID-19 vaccine could help world populations reach a level of community immunity that would end the pandemic, but concerns over safety will undoubtedly contribute to some hesitancy to be vaccinated. Part 4 of Vaccines in the Time of COVID-19 will discuss the policy and societal conditions driving vaccine hesitancy.
Confirmed Speaker: Sharon Kaufman, Professor Emerita and former Chair of the Department of Anthropology, History and Social Medicine at the University of California San Francisco
