Loved part one of our Virtual Town Hall? In this second installment “Shifting COVID-19 Approaches for the Next Phase of the Pandemic” we continued our conversation on navigating the “new normal,” while keeping our communities safe and protected from COVID-19. Using this Q&A style discussion, the audience had the opportunity to continue listening and learning from each other, as well as from three experts who addressed the top questions and concerns, including:

Understanding the impact, in breadth and depth, of long COVID
Continuing to promote COVID safety despite the loosening of masking mandates
Shifting our messaging to combat ideas that we are “in the clear” from COVID
Keeping the vaccination & booster momentum going to provide protection against new variants

Speakers:

Noha Aboelata, MD, Chief Executive Officer, Roots Community Clinic
Alex Fajardo, Executive Director, El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center
Stephanie Takamaru, Project Manager, Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese
Lisa Waddell, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer, CDC Foundation (moderator)
