A Kirby Institute Seminar.

There are so many unknowns about COVID-19. In this seminar, four of these areas of uncertainty will be addressed.

  1. Schools: to what extent do children get infected with and transmit SARS-CoV-2?
  2. Transmission: is it airborne?
  3. The frontline: why are so many health workers getting infected and how can we better protect them?
  4. Vaccination: never in the lifetime of currently working health experts has mass vaccination been undertaken. What lesson can be learned from previous infectious diseases when it comes to rolling out an unprecedented vaccine program?

Hear from one of Australia’s foremost COVID-19 experts, Professor Raina MacIntyre who will unpack the available scientific evidence in relation to questions and controversies in COVID-19 control.
