From the Experts: Join Our Virtual Monthly Meeting on "All Things Celiac"
"Get the Facts on COVID-19 Vaccines and Celiac Disease"
Join the National Celiac Association (NCA) and the Harvard Medical School Celiac Research Program for a discussion on celiac disease and COVID-19 vaccines. The second webinar in our "All Things Celiac" 2021 series will be held Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 1:00pm EST. Speakers will present on selected topics for 60 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for Q&A. There is no charge for this event.
Addressing the COVID-19 pandemic requires understanding variations in the human immune system, how different groups are affected by the virus, and how we can leverage science to develop targeted vaccines to protect us. Dr. Ofer Levy, director of the Precisions Vaccine Program in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children's Hospital and Dr. Lael Yonker, pediatric pulmonologist and co-founder of the Pediatric COVID-19 Biorepository at Massachusetts General Hospital, will lead the discussion to help attendees understand what is known about the COVID-19 virus today and how new developments will help to contain community spread of the virus.
Lee Graham, executive director of the National Celiac Association, will introduce the webinar and Dr. Dascha Weir, pediatric gastroenterologist in the Boston Children's Hospital's Celiac Disease Program, will moderate the session. Please submit general questions below or during the webinar on the Zoom platform.
