Speaker: Ali Hamidi, M.D.
Language: English
Synopsis:
These days many of the efforts are around fixing a big issue that paralyzed almost all nations. A huge number of people got affected, many lost their lives or loved ones, and businesses went under the water and as such made the world even a more unsafe place to live. But the bright side of it is the fact that science took a tremendous step and in less than 9 months vaccines were developed and made available (a process that usually takes years). In this lecture, we want to briefly review and familiarize ourselves with the different types of covid-19 vaccines that are available and compare their safety and efficacy, and finally answering a common question: should we get a vaccine at this moment, or is better off to wait?
