Webinar: Surviving to Thriving: Preparing for COVID, Flu & Monkeypox in Your Community

Join world-renowned medical expert and immunologist Dr. Deborah Birx next week as she discusses Omicron-specific boosters, Evusheld, Paxlovid, and monkeypox to help all our communities move from surviving to thriving.

This webinar will:

  • describe ways you can preserve and protect your workforce with changes to return-to-work policies and testing;
  • review the newest data on flu and COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness;
  • share recommendations on how to use COVID-19 antibody therapies and antiviral treatments to improve outcomes for seniors in your community; and
  • discuss actionable steps you can take to prevent the spread of monkeypox.

 

RSVP to the session you wish to attend. The event will be 1 hour.

  • Tuesday, September 27 at 12:00 pm
  • Wednesday, September 28 at 1:00 pm
  • Thursday, September 29 at 3:00 pm

 

Please note you will receive the event registration information 24 hours prior to the event date and time that you selected.

  • For security purposes, there will not be a recording of the webinar.
  • A fact sheet with more information will be available following all three events.

 

Additional context: The pandemic permanently changed the work environment and employee expectations.

  • Natural infections like those caused by measles, polio, and smallpox produce lifetime protection.
  • However, COVID-19 infections do not provide long-lived immunity, nor do our current vaccines.
  • Herd immunity is not coming, and COVID-19 will remain a significant risk for individuals over seventy, whether they are in senior care, living alone, or in multi-generational households.
