The COVID-19 pandemic has been a stressful time for the entire world, including people living with epilepsy and their families. But hope arrived on the scene on December 14, 2020, when the coronavirus vaccine produced by Pfizer was distributed around the country. And now, the Moderna vaccine is on its way. You’ve likely heard of this vaccine countless times, but probably have some questions.
Liz Dueweke, manager of communications and digital strategies at the Epilepsy Foundation and woman with epilepsy, will be asking our experts questions like:
Dr. Henry Fraimow is a hospital epidemiologist at Cooper University Hospital in the Infectious Disease Department. He is also associate professor of medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. Dr. Fraimow trained in internal medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York and did his fellowship training in infectious disease at Montefiore Medical Center. Dr. Fraimow treats patients with COVID-19 and coordinates the COVID-19 response at Cooper University Hospital. He received the COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020.
Note: presenters cannot address individual medical concerns, endorse specific products, and provide individual advice.
The mission of the Epilepsy Foundation is to lead the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures, and save lives.
