The Alabama Regional Center for Infection Prevention and Control Training and Technical Assistance presents “Epidemiology 101: Fundamental Concepts for Understanding the Pandemic ”. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding epidemiologic concepts has become paramount for personal and professional decision-making. In this webinar, Dr. Stella Aslibekyan will present several tools to read and critically think about pandemic-related news. We will explore concepts like herd immunity, vaccine efficacy, and endemic infection, and consider what they mean for COVID-19 control. Finally, we will practice disentangling correlation from causation. This webinar is co-sponsored by Alabama Regional Center for Infection Prevention and Control Training and Technical Assistance and the Region IV Public Health Training Center.
