Project PROTECH’s 15th Resiliency Dialogue will take place on Thursday, March 18th, 2021, at 7:30 pm EST. Mark it down and don’t miss it, we have many great speakers to answer your questions regarding COVID19 vaccines.
In Ontario, phase 1 of the vaccines have been made available since December for high-risk populations, First Nations, Métis and Inuit populations and frontline workers. Phase 2 is set to be made available by April for those ages 60 and above, at-risk populations, those who cannot work from home, and those with high-risk chronic conditions. Phase 3 is set to be available in July for adults under 59. Despite these latest updates, many people are still very concerned and very much confused about the vaccine rollout and what this means for them. In this discussion, our panellists will address and answer some of the questions we may have regarding the vaccines available in Ontario.
The webinar will be conducted in English. Recording (with Chinese subtitles) will be uploaded to our Youtube Channel the following day.
The webinar will be moderated by Dr. Alan Li, Principal Researcher of Project Protech.
