ISAC/Brown Clinical Trials Seminar – “IMPACT-C: Improving Vaccine Uptake in Skilled Nursing Facilities” – Sarah Berry, MD, MPH
Please join us for a lecture from the Joint Seminar Series on Clinical Trials in Aging: Strategies to Improve Nursing Home COVID-19
Vaccine Uptake featuring Sarah Berry, MD, MPH, Harvard Medical School & Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research.
Nursing homes residents represent about 1% of the US population but, at the height of the pandemic, contributed about 5% of cases and nearly 40% of deaths. Residents and staff were prioritized for vaccination, but staff uptake, in particular, has remained low.
Dr. Berry will present on strategies to improve COVID-19 vaccine uptake, including data from IMPACT Collaboratory observational studies and a pragmatic trial.
The Joint Seminar Series on Clinical Trials in Aging is co-hosted by the Interventional Studies in Aging Center (ISAC) in the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew SeniorLife and the Brown University Center for Long-Term Care Quality & Innovation (Q&I). Lectures focus on issues in the design and execution of clinical trials, including trials currently in the field.
