Covid-19 Vaccine Information Sessions
The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and University of Iowa are information sessions about the COVID-19 vaccine.
These sessions will provide a virtual forum for Iowans to learn about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and have an opportunity to ask questions of medical experts.
There is no fee or registration required and the sessions are open to all. Participants can join a session by visiting https://www.iowacovidinfo.org/, where there will be a link to the WebEx online meeting platform or the ISU Extension and Outreach YouTube channel.
- The first session was held on Saturday, April 17, and can be viewed at https://youtu.be/AQg4aNv5Vkk
- The next session is tonight (Monday, April 19) at 6 p.m.
- The April 24 session is targeted to Spanish-speaking Iowans and will include an interpreter.
Each one-hour session will feature an overview from medical experts, followed by a moderated question and answer segment to encourage a dialogue.
“Putting an end to this pandemic is a team effort that will require the majority of the public to get vaccinated," says Dr. Winokur, "We recognize some Iowans may be hesitant to get the vaccine because there is a lot of conflicting information circulating that can be confusing and overwhelming. To combat this, we are pleased to partner with IDPH and ISU to answer Iowans' questions and make sure they have the facts they need to feel comfortable getting a COVID-19 vaccine."
Full details and links to each session can be found here: https://www.iowacovidinfo.org/
