Join Pennsylvanians across distance and difference for an informative and personal dialogue about COVID-19 vaccines! In our first ‘Hear Me Out’ dialogue of the new year, we will offer an interview and Q&A with medical ethicist Arthur Caplan, followed by moderated breakout discussions. Participants will be provided with information on the types of vaccines that will be offered and the science behind the vaccines, along with an interactive Q&A. Participants will be able to connect with fellow Pennsylvanians in their breakout discussions on issues such as vaccine distribution equity and perceptions of vaccine safety. Gather virtually to learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and connect with individuals across the state! Advanced registration is required.

Dr. Arthur Caplan is one of America's foremost experts on medical ethics. He founded and leads the Division of Medical Ethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Before that, he was at the UPenn Perelman School of Medicine, where he founded the Center for Bioethics. He is the author or editor of 35 books and regularly appears on public radio and nationally televised news shows to comment on medical ethics issues.  He has served on dozens of national and international commissions, been named a USA Today "Person of the Year" as well as one of the 10 most influential people in medicine by Discovery magazine.
