Navigating the Pandemic: Unveiling the Impact of NPIs and Vaccines

The Institute for Pandemics (IfP) presents a webinar to discuss the impact of both non-pharmaceutical (NPI) interventions and vaccine uptake in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Paul Grootendorst (Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy) will provide a descriptive overview of the provincial pandemic responses and mortality and economic outcomes. Following his presentation, there will be a panel discussion with researchers that have recently published evidence on the causal impact of NPI and vaccine uptake on mortality outcomes in Canada.
