COVID Conversation Series
The California Immunization Coalition in partnership with all four California AAP Chapters will be hosting a series of informal webinars over the next several months to prepare the California medical and public health community for the release and distribution of upcoming COVID-19 vaccines. These COVID CONVERSATIONS will focus almost exclusively on the emerging information on COVID vaccines.
These conversations will be relatively informal and will last an hour. We are also accepting questions in advance of the webinar to help us and the speakers prepare. If you have questions please submit them below.
