The public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. has differed considerably from the approaches taken in China. Now that vaccines are becoming available. The approaches each country is taking to vaccination policies also seem to differ. Please join us for a conversation among trusted partners at UM and in China on the approaches that are being planned in the respective countries.
