This week we are happy to share a great learning opportunity. COVID Discussions is a weekly meeting where a group of Canadian health professionals with expertise in vaccination offer weekly information sessions to answer questions from both the public and health professionals on COVID vaccination. These health professionals volunteer their time for this excellent public service opportunity. The aim is to “provide a safe space for everyone to bring their questions about the science and social aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic.”1 The group meets from 8-10 EST on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
