New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service and New Mexico Department of Health will host webinars about COVID-19 vaccine education April 13 and April 14. The free, one-hour event will begin at 6 p.m. on Zoom.
The webinars will feature Kathryn Hanley, NMSU Regents professor of biology, and topics will include the science behind COVID-19 vaccination development; science behind vaccinations in controlling COVID-19 spread; and efficacy of available vaccines in preventing COVID-19 hospitalization and death in clinical trials. A public interest question and answer session also will be part of the presentation.
“I think it is important for NMSU Cooperative Extension Service to help provide research-based information for the citizens of New Mexico and help the New Mexico Department of Health in the dissemination of information for those who want to take advantage of the program,” said Tom Dean, Extension Southwest District director. “The hope of providing this type of presentation is to take out any type of bias and provide scientific based information so that an individual can make an informed decision on what is best for them.”
