Vaccines, children, and staying safe at school
Our gal-pal, Your Local Epidemiologist, is part of a Q&A today on ‘Navigating the Pandemic with Kids’. She will be joined by Dr. Emily Oster and Christina Farr from CNBC will be moderating. This should be a really interesting discussion from a population perspective (YLE) and an individual perspective (Dr. Oster). (As a disclaimer, you all know YLE is one of my fav gal-pals! I do not know Dr. Oster personally but have followed her work [sometimes very controversial] during this pandemic. I won’t share my own thoughts on Dr. Oster’s work here. But, I did want to let you all know that I’ll be tuning in to hear the discussion today. We all know the issue of schools, COVID, masking, and pediatric vaccines are a hot topic right now and the data is moving quick! So, today’s discussion should be a great tool for those of us trying to navigate schools and keeping our kiddos safe during this pandemic.)
You’ll need to register (it’s free) in the link here. If you miss today’s live webinar, it will be posted on Substack’s Youtube channel after. I’ve included more information on what the event will cover below.
