Health Care Experts, Scientists Discuss Vaccine
Hesitancy and COVID-19 Treatment
|
|
“Health care workers are exhausted,” a hospital pharmacist said during
Chapman University’s Ask the Experts Virtual Town Hall.
Will I need a COVID-19 booster shot? Are there good treatments for the virus now? Can I get natural immunity from an infection? Those questions were among the topics discussed at Chapman University’s most recent Ask the Experts Virtual Town Hall, a series launched in the early days of the pandemic to bring scientists together to talk with the public about the crisis. The town halls have expanded to include other timely topics, but COVID-19 continues to be a focus.
