Update on respiratory infections for the summer

Update on respiratory infections for the summer: COVID-19, influenza, mpox and more

Session moderated by Bob Wachter

In our final Grand Rounds of the academic year, we'll delve into the current epidemiology of COVID-19 and H5N1 influenza A in the United States, among other viruses. We’ll review the latest data and trends, this summer's "forecast," and how individuals and institutions can better prepare for prevention and mitigation. The session will begin with an epidemiology update with George Rutherford and then move to a Q&A with Alison Bond, Peter Chin-Hong, and Deborah Yokoe on H5N1, COVID, measles, and beyond.
