Coronavirus: the myths and the facts
A webinar will take place this evening (28th January) to inform people about the vaccine
A webinar will take place tonight (28th January) where people can ask questions about the coronavirus vaccine and about the impact of the pandemic to Senior representatives from the NHS in Rutland.
“Coronavirus vaccination – what you need to know”, is taking place from 7pm to 8pm and anyone can join.
The aim is for the panel to inform the public about any misinformation being told about the vaccine and the pandemic.
Dr Tariq Kapasi, GP with Willows Health, who are hosting the webinar on behalf of the three local Clinical Commissioning Groups, said:
“The coronavirus vaccination programme is the biggest immunisation programme in the history of the NHS. Vaccines are the way out of the pandemic; they will protect people from coronavirus and will save thousands of lives. However, we are really concerned that a lot of misleading information is circulating, particularly on social media.
“We are giving people the opportunity to find out more about the vaccine and put their questions to our local medical experts. Panel members will talk about their experiences of the pandemic, the impact on the community and the NHS, and explain why vaccination is so important. Everyone is welcome and there will be the chance to put questions to the panel.”
