We now have three very safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines that have been authorized for use in the United States. As vaccines become readily available to the general public, healthcare professionals must be prepared to confidently recommend COVID-19 vaccines and equipped to answer patients’ questions.

“How were COVID-19 vaccines developed so quickly? How do we know these vaccines are safe and effective? Can we compare Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine? What vaccine is best for our patients?”

Paul Carson

Paul Carson, MD, FACP, NDSU Professor of Practice and Medical Director of the NDSU Center for Immunization Research and Education (CIRE), will address these questions and more.

 

 

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. Summarize COVID-19 vaccine safety from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine safety monitoring systems.
  2. Describe the new COVID-19 vaccine platform, clinical considerations, and safety and efficacy data.
  3. Address patient concerns with the COVID-19 vaccine confidently and accurately.

Questions? Please submit questions before the presentation to ndsu.cire@ndsu.edu. Organizers will try to incorporate your questions into the presentation. Unable to attend? A recording will be made available at a later date on the North Dakota Department of Health’s Immunization Program website and the NDSU’s Center for Immunization Research and Education website.
