HERO Town Hall: Learning TOGETHER about Vaccines for SARS CoV-2

Robert Califf, MD, MACC, Adrian Hernandez, MD, MHS, and Emily O’Brien, PhD, provided an overview of the PCORI-funded HERO program, the impact of the pandemic on healthcare workers, and an update on vaccines for COVID-19.

The group also discussed the importance of post-vaccination programs such as HERO-TOGETHER in our understanding of vaccines. Results from HERO-TOGETHER will assess the benefits versus risks of vaccines, evaluate use in groups excluded in clinical trials, describe side effects, and possibly link side effects directly to a specific vaccine.

If you missed the discussion, you can watch it now.

If you work in health care in a clinical or nonclinical role, please join us in HERO-TOGETHER. It takes less than 10 minutes to sign up and is an easy way to continue to fight COVID-19. You will contribute knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines and receive up to $200 compensation and information back on what we are learning.
