Virtual Town Hall: The Latest on COVID-19 and Navigating the Road Ahead

Apr 21, 2022

Many community-based organizations are working to embrace a “new normal” in order to protect people from COVID-19. That effort requires navigating the constant flow of updates and adopting community-specific approaches to a range of challenges, from vaccines and boosters to masks, testing and treatments. This event from the CDC Foundation and Vaccine Equity Cooperative (VEC) created a space to share your latest concerns, learn from each other and answer your most pressing questions.

In this interactive Town Hall webinar hosted on April 21, 2022, national and local experts discussed the top COVID-19 questions and addressed the biggest concerns during the next phase of the pandemic, including:

Feeling unprepared to keep communities protected for another surge or new variant
Keeping the vaccination momentum going, especially for families and children
Battling misinformation during quickly changing COVID-19 protocols
Confusion over when and where to use a mask
Managing widespread COVID fatigue in the community
Unexpected reality of long COVID, and other long-term outcomes of the pandemic
