Friday, October 29, 1:00pm - 2:30pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Panel:
Eric Topol, MD
Director & Founder, Scripps Research Translational Institute

Sarah S. Long, MD
Professor of Pediatrics, Drexel University College of Medicine

Yvonne Maldonado, MD
Chief, Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Stanford University School of Medicine

Abstract: Public health authorities in the U.S. are analyzing data on the long-term effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and debating the need for vaccine booster shots. This panel of public health experts, with different points of view, will consider recommendations from the CDC that some populations receive a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine booster, the potential necessity for Moderna and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine boosters, and vaccination of children. Sound information is critical to the ethical debate about offering boosters in multiple countries when other populations have not yet received any vaccination.
