NYMC and TCUS Host Tenth Symposium in the COVID-19 Series
In their continuing efforts to keep the community apprised of the latest updates on the COVID-19 pandemic, New York Medical College (NYMC) and the Touro College and University System (TCUS) hosted its tenth symposium in the series, "What have we learned? How can we use what we have learned?" on February 18-13 months after its first symposium when the virus had just been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization. More than 300 viewers logged on to the webinar to hear from a panel of faculty experts who presented on how SARS-COV-2 mutates and variants in its spike protein; vaccines and the emergence of virus variants that are challenging the scientific and medical communities; new vaccines; the impact of the pandemic on food insecurity in the United States; and lessons learned about managing a mass vaccination program.
