Zoom panel on the Science of Herd Immunity April 7th from 3 – 4:30 PM Eastern Time.
 
The concept of herd immunity has been applied for decades in epidemiology and public health, yet the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted new debate about the role of herd immunity in the pandemic response and confusion about what herd immunity entails.
 
Join a panel of experts (Marc Lipsitch, Rustom Antia, Lauren Ancel Meyers, Julie Parsonnet) who will explain the science of and misconceptions around herd immunity and discuss new research frontiers in immunology, infectious disease dynamics, and human behavior. Moderated by Erin Mordecai and hosted by Stanford Medicine and the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. Organized by Mallory Harris, Dunwoody High School graduate.
