Dr. Zachary Jenkins, an infectious disease expert and associate professor of pharmacy practice at Cedarville University, will present at The American Association of Pharmacists’ COVID-19 Vaccine Landscape seminar on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 11 a.m. The event will be held virtually over Zoom.
Jenkins will speak on the current progress in developing a COVID-19 vaccine in order to educate pharmacy students, pre-pharmacy students and prospective pharmacy students.
Jenkins reports that studies project that roughly 50-60% of people will immediately seek out a vaccine once a safe one has been developed and that a successful vaccine will aid the United States on a path back to normalcy.
