In this week’s conversation with Dean Jha, we will explore his thoughts on recent pandemic public health and policy developments such as the approval of children’s vaccines, the efficacy of mandates, the role of testing, and what the future may hold. We will also learn how physicians can be seen as trusted science communicators battling a pandemic of misinformation. The session will be hosted by Bob Wachter.
