Description

Every year we must grapple with vaccine recommendations to be sure that we are up to date in the prevention of infectious diseases for our vulnerable patient populations. In addition to routine vaccines, we must also be aware of new generations of vaccines for COVID-19 and influenza. We also have the ongoing risk of mpox, especially in gay and bisexual MSM. This year, Dr. Dorothy Knutsen will help guide us as we seek to provide the best preventive care possible.
