Join the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Neighborhood Association (PLGNA) for a conversation with local healthcare and science professionals about the COVID-19 vaccine and the historical factors that contribute to vaccine skepticism among Americans in general, particularly communities of color. Panelists include John Quale, MD, Infectious Disease Physician at NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County; registered nurse Rose Strickland; and science educator Carmen Castillo-Barrett.
The discussion and audience Q&A is moderated by PLGNA President Brenda Edwards. Recorded via Zoom on January 28, 2021.
This video is an adaptation of the children’s book, My Hero is You, released in early 2020 to help educate children around the world about COVID-19. The original book was created by mental health and psychosocial support experts from the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), the highest-level humanitarian coordination forum of the United Nations.
A team, led by Stanford Medicine’s Maya Adam, adapted the story into a short animated film, with input and oversight from the IASC Mental health and Psychosocial Support Reference Group, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization (WHO). The film aims to convey messages of hope, resilience, solidarity, and empowerment to children and their caregivers around the world. Faculty at Stanford Medicine, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine served as advisors on this film. The animations were done by Chaz Bottoms, Matt Torode, and Monica A. Young. To learn more about this project: https://stan.md/2EhQNRF |
