Johns Hopkins University will host a virtual town hall on Thursday, Dec. 17, from 4 to 5 p.m. to provide the latest information, address concerns, and answer questions about the COVID-19 vaccines. Drawing upon the knowledge of world-class experts, the town hall will review what is currently known about the efficacy and safety of the new vaccines, how the vaccines will be distributed at JHU and to whom, and how the JHU community can come together to build trust and overcome vaccine skepticism.
