The RADx Tech Webinar Series | | Please join us for the first RADx webinar of the new year on Tuesday, January 18th The Epidemiology of Omicron | | Dr. Bill Hanage will discuss the current knowledge of omicron epidemiology based on observations from South Africa, the UK, and other early outbreak areas. He will pay particular attention to the relative intrinsic infectiousness and severity of infections relative to Delta, and their ability to evade prior immunity. Taken together, these suggest we should expect an extremely sharp peak of omicron cases with a potentially extended period of healthcare demand depending on the characteristics and vaccination state of older individuals in the community. Speaker Dr. Bill Hanage Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health When Tuesday, January 18, 2022 2:00 PM ET RSVP by January 17, 2022 Learn more about the past webinars here. |
