Seminar Series from CITF and CanCOVID​

Protecting Canada's Long-Term Care Residents from COVID-19: The Evidence Behind the Policies

Join us in this second CITF/CanCOVID Seminar Series: Research Results & Implications, as eight CITF-supported research teams from across Canada unveil their latest findings. They will present and discuss their respective studies that offer strong evidence to support the protection of Canada’s long-term care residents, staff, and visitors.

Hear the evidence behind the latest policy decisions, including supporting the eligibility of this vulnerable population for a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in many provinces and territories. We will then host a question-and-answer session at the end of the presentation.
