Was the COVID-19 vaccine rushed?

These past three years have been atypical in so many ways–the pandemic has produced a whirlwind of ever-changing information. This influx of information, in part, has raised concerns about the vaccines–these concerns may be the primary barrier for the public to continue to get vaccinated.

If you’re feeling unsure about the vaccines, or about all of the information flying around, we encourage you to tune into our conversation with Robert (Bob) Fischetti.

Dr. Fischetti is the Life Science Advisor to the Advanced Photon Source Director and Group Leader of The National Institute of General Medical Sciences and National Cancer Institute Structural Biology Facility (GM/CA). The facility includes the first hard X-ray, dual-canted undulator beamlines.

Our goal is to provide reliable information from experts who you can trust. If you have questions about how vaccines work, vaccine efficacy, or any other question related to vaccine basics, then this is the video for you!
