Join us on September 15, as we meet with healthcare experts to discuss Covid-19 health care measures and the drive for information on Vaccines. This event is an opportunity to engage in critical conversations with medical professionals about vaccine safety and efficacy.
This event is a continuation to our first event in August, part of our vaccine literacy campaign.
