OVERVIEW
A month after children in Canada went back to school, Canadians have many questions about their safety, the plans for vaccines, and the cumulative impacts of the pandemic on the mental and social well-being of our children. The Royal Society of Canada and the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force are partnering to host a free, virtual town hall available to all Canadians to share the latest insights and likely next steps.
