The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. Amidst all this, the distribution and administration of the Covid vaccines has given people hope, but there are several unanswered questions and some skepticism about the efficacy of the vaccines.
Second in a series of webinars, a discussion organized virtually Feb. 26 by the Global Organization of Persons of Indian Originâs Manhattan chapter in collaboration with the Indian Consulate in New York provided answers to some of these questions.
Attended by people from around the globe, the webinar, led by Hana Akselrod, M.D., MPH, attempted to answer questions on the pandemic, how it spreads and ways to prevent and mitigate the spread.
