The Coronavirus Pandemic: The Latest on Variants and Rapid Testing

April 20th, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm

 

Facebook Live Q&A with Michael Mina, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

Presented jointly by The Forum at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and The World from PRX & GBH

What are the implications that five COVID-19 variants that appear to spread faster than other variants are now circulating in the United States? How might continuing vaccination rollouts and the availability of over-the-counter rapid antigen at-home tests factor into controlling further spread? And what is the latest on COVID-19 vaccine development and access? In this Q&A, Harvard Chan epidemiologist Michael Mina and The World’s Elana Gordon take your questions.
