SUMMARY:Why Our Vaccine Deployment is Shy of Target  and How We're Adapting
DESCRIPTION:  \nFebruary 4\, 2021 | 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. EST \nPlease join the Alliance for Health Policy\,Thursday\, February 4 at 12 p.m. EST\, for an online briefing discussing state vaccine supply. \nThe journey to a post-COVID era is a difficult one. Although two promising vaccines are currently authorized for emergency use and more than 4.2 million people received the first of two required doses as of January 3\, 2021\, the United States fell short of its goal to inoculate 20 million front-line workers and seniors in December 2020. To add to the vaccine administration challenge\, a more infectious mutation of COVID-19\, named B.1.1.7\, has been identified among positive cases in at least thirty-three countries around the world and at least eight states in the U.S. According to the CDC\, there is no evidence to date to suggest that B.1.1.7 causes more severe illness or a higher risk of death than COVID-19. As the world remains uncertain about how the coronavirus pandemic will evolve\, states and local entities have been working tirelessly to mitigate the spread of the virus\, inoculate as many residents as quickly and safely as possible\, and contend with this new virus mutation. \nThis briefing will explore their efforts. Attendees will learn the challenges and opportunities states face in safe and timely vaccine deployment and supply management\, plans states are executing to ensure equitable vaccine distribution\, and plans states are executing to ensure equitable vaccine distribution along the way.  \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Reporting on COVID-19 Vaccines at the Intersection of Science and Politics
DESCRIPTION:12:00pm – 2:35 p.m. ET \nJournalists play a vital role in communicating to the public about COVID-19 vaccines\, and currently under challenging circumstances. The science surrounding COVID-19 is rapidly changing\, vaccines have been developed at “warp speed” using a new approach\, and misinformation is on the rise. Moreover\, current and historical injustices and inequities\, as well as heightened political polarization\, affect what information is consumed\, trusted\, and acted upon. This webinar offers an opportunity for members of the media to learn about the stories and challenges to anticipate related to COVID-19 vaccines\, and to learn how to apply the latest insights from the social sciences and seasoned science journalists to their craft. \nRegister here \nMore information

SUMMARY:Emerging COVID-19 Challenges: Long-COVID and Viral Variants
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by SciLine\, with an opportunity for Q&A \nWednesday\, Feb. 17\, at 1:00 PM EST \nA year into the global COVID-19 pandemic\, physicians and researchers are battling two newly frustrating phenomena: the spread of novel coronavirus variants with potential to undermine patients’ immune-system defenses\, and a mysterious long-lasting medical syndrome in survivors\, for which there remains no definitive treatment. SciLine’s next media briefing will delve into the latest research on these biomedical challenges\, and provide reporters with opportunities for Q&A. Dr. Hana Akselrod\, assistant professor of medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences\, Dr. Christian Sandrock\, professor of pulmonary and critical medicine at UC Davis School of Medicine will offer their expertise to reporters. SciLine Director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing. \nRegister here: https://www.sciline.org/media-briefings-blog/emerging-covid-challenges?utm_source=Optin-Research&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=emergingCOVID

SUMMARY:Nurses on the Frontline: Strengthening America’s Health Care Workforce
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented demand for nurses to provide hospital and other forms of care. The burden has been devastating for nurses\, who comprise America’s largest health care workforce. As a result\, nurses are leaving the workforce due to burnout\, a lack of child care\, contracting COVID-19 themselves\, or other health concerns\, accelerating an already existing nursing shortage in the United States. As nurses continue to provide most of the nation’s care\, it is critical to explore strategies to support them\, raise their voices as trusted messengers in media and other forums\, and strengthen the nursing workforce. \nSpeakers will discuss: \n\n\nHow critical issues in nursing were brought to light by the pandemic\, including staffing shortages\, burnout\, and the essential roles of nurses \n\n\nThe trusted role of nurses\, and how to elevate their voices to address vaccine hesitancy and educate journalists about their value as resources \n\n\nA health plan foundation’s efforts to build a diverse pipeline of the next generation of nurses and nurse leaders \n\n\nRegister for this event.
