Last week, Circle of Care held a virtual town hall where we were able to hear from guest speaker Dr. Jennie Johnstone about COVID vaccination. Dr. Johnstone is the Medical Director of Infection Prevention & Control for Sinai Health, and she spoke about a wide variety of topics regarding vaccinations and the COVID vaccines in particular.

We recognize that not all of our PSWs were able to attend the town hall, as many of you were scheduled to care for clients during this time. We are sharing Dr. Johnstone’s presentation in short clips, so that you can watch the topics that interest you the most.
