Webinar: COVID-19 Vaccine Myths & Facts
The Vi team has been working hard to help our residents stay healthy and informed throughout the COVID pandemic — including on-site vaccine clinics for residents and staff at all of our locations.
Beyond our communities, the effort to get America’s seniors vaccinated is ongoing — and understandably, people have a lot of questions! That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for a free educational presentation.
Webinar: COVID-19 Vaccine Myths and Facts
Wednesday, March 3 at 12 PM (CST)
This exclusive Zoom event will feature guest expert Dr. Steven Singer, Co-Director of Georgetown University’s graduate program in Global Infectious Disease (GLID).
The presentation will take a deep dive into COVID-19 vaccine myths, as well as the scientific facts you need to stay healthy and informed, including:
- The safety of the COVID-19 vaccine for seniors
- The differences between the currently available vaccines
There will also be a live, moderated Q&A afterward.
The presentation will be moderated by Vi AVP of Sales Joe Chambers. Melissa Evraets, Vi’s VP of Resident Care and Chief Nursing Officer, will be on hand to provide insight about Vi’s COVID-19 and vaccine response during the Q&A.
We hope you can join us for this important educational event at 12 p.m. (CST) on Wednesday, March 3.
