How do the COVID-19 vaccines work, and how do we know they're safe? Hear from Penny Jensen, a research scientist with a Ph.D. in physiology/biochemistry who has worked at Thermo Fisher Scientific for more than 12 years. She’ll explain the science behind the COVID-19 vaccines and separate fact from fiction so you can make informed decisions. Why have NIU and many other universities added COVID-19 to their list of mandatory vaccines for students, and how did they make that decision? Hear from Matt Streb, NIU Chief of Staff to the President, about university decision-making processes related to COVID-19. Free, but Register - His is a zoom event
