Omicron and Other Variants of Concern: Finding Our Way Forward
Speakers: C Hankins, M Brockman, AC Gingras, MA Langlois, J Liu, C Piccirillo, & J Wrana.
How we move forward through the next stage of the pandemic depends a great deal on how we manage the ongoing threat of emerging variants. Please join us for a panel discussion with COVID‑19 Immunity Task Force (CITF)-funded experts researching variants of concern, held in collaboration with the Coronavirus Variants Rapid Response Network (CoVaRR-Net).
Our panellists will answer a series of COVID-19-related questions, including:
- Where do COVID‑19 variants come from?
- Who is most at risk for COVID‑19 variants?
- Will new vaccines be required to combat future variants?
- What could endemicity and a world with regularly emerging variants of concern look like?
Following the discussion, our panellists will engage in a question-and-answer session with the attendees.
