Postponed to April 1: Join us for episode two,
"Let's talk: COVID vaccines for all"

Join Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for the next event in our Let’s Talk Vaccines webinar series on Thursday, April 1. As we mark one year of life defined by the COVID-19 pandemic, the global health community is focused on how to get vaccines to the people who need them most. Health workers and activists are calling for the fair and equitable distribution of vaccines around the world, and right here in the United States.

ONLINE DISCUSSION SERIES

Continues on
Thursday, April 1

1:00 PM EDT

Last year, MSF worked with local partners in projects across the US to support the COVID-19 response in underserved communities, including work with African American, Native American, and Latinx communities. This year, we are renewing our collaborations with community-based organizations in New York City and in Puerto Rico to ensure that COVID-19 vaccines reach some of those hardest hit by the virus.

Racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care are not new, but the pandemic has exposed these harsh realities for all to see. Who is getting access to the new COVID-19 vaccines? What are the barriers? How can we expand the reach of these lifesaving tools? Answering these questions is critical to bringing this pandemic to an end. We know that no one will be safe from this disease until we’re all safe. We'll be in conversation with Dr. Kerry Dierberg, project coordinator for MSF’s COVID-19 operations in Brooklyn, New York, and Carla Gonzalez, nurse and co-founder of Puerto Rico Salud, MSF's partner organization in Puerto Rico responding to inequities in vaccine access. Together with our host, MSF-USA Executive Director Avril Benoît, this expert panel will answer your questions about ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines in the US.

Once you register, you'll receive an email confirmation with a Livestream link to attend this online event on April 1. If you already registered for the series, you'll see an email from Eventbrite with the link to watch. You'll receive the link for our April 29 discussion closer to that date.
