Mark your Calendar... Wednesday, February 17th 1 pm - 2:30 PM Longevity Explorers Living With The Virus Even after vaccination we will be living with the virus and have questions about our future safety.  When can we do “normal” activities again like visiting family/friends, travel, eating out?  Will we need annual vaccination?  Am I safe after vaccination? How do we assess our risk? Please join us for the most current information from experts in RI who will address the big questions like: Why do vaccination prioritization strategies differ? How do COVID-19 tests work?  Why is interpretation of results tricky? Why is vaccination not a “sure” defense against becoming infected? What does “safe”, “safety”, and “risk” mean? Do specific pathogens ever just disappear? Narrated by John Stevenson, Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Psychology, University of RI   Presented by James V McDonald, MD,MPH; Chief Administrative Officer BMLD; Medical Director for Customer Services, Center for Policy Information and Communications and the Overdose Prevention Program. John Fulton, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Brown University School of Public Health and member of RI’s epidemic modeling team and additional experts from RI Department of Health.   Longevity Explorers is a collaborative program between Hamilton House and the Village Common providing opportunity to share information on products and services and explore the intersection of technology and aging.
