Resources for CBOs / Shifting COVID-19 Approaches for the Next Phase of the Pandemic
In part two of our virtual town hall, we continued the conversation about ways to navigate the “new normal” while keeping our communities safe and protected from COVID-19.
This Q&A style discussion provided an opportunity to listen and learn from each other as well as from three experts who addressed top questions and concerns, including:
- Understanding the impact 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, CEO, Roots Community Clinic
- Alex Fajardo, Executive Director, El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center
- Stephanie Takamaru, Project Manager, Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese
- Lisa F. Waddell, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer, CDC Foundation (moderator)
The May 25, 2022 webinar was part of a series of CDC Foundation webinars tailored for community-based organizations (CBOs) and held in partnership with the Vaccine Equity Cooperative.
