Great point! Consider the risk to others not only your own risk when deciding what to do during this #COVID19 #pandemic! Such a critical consideration for all infectious diseases. We have the power to protect others through our choices & behaviors. Let’s keep each other healthy!

We’re applying our expertise in #ID #vaccines #globalhealth to design studies that can help mitigate the effects of the #COVID19 pandemic. From serology to the impact of social distancing on physical/mental health, we’re working to gather evidence that can inform the next steps.
