We-Ha.com has been hosting a recurring Facebook Live forum since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and this week’s special edition, Wednesday, Dec 9 beginning at 6 p.m., will feature Keith Grant, senior system director of infection prevention at Hartford HealthCare and a member of the governor’s COVID-19 task force.
Vaccination is on the horizon – and the process is scheduled to begin in just a matter of days.
Grant will discuss the vaccination schedule – when and how the process will begin and who gets to be vaccinated first – and the importance of getting both doses.
He will speak about vaccine safety, how they were developed so quickly, the differences in the initial vaccines that will be available and others types that are under development.
