NAMI Ask the Expert: Vaccine Science: A history of distrust and discrimination for people with mental illness As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes publicly available across the country and the world, we are each faced with making the choice about taking the vaccine for ourselves and/or our loved one. In addition to the concerns that the general public has, NAMI recognizes the complex history of distrust, discrimination, and access challenges for those who also experience mental illness. In this webinar, NAMI brings together experts from diverse specialty areas for a panel presentation and facilitated Q&A focused on the evolving science of vaccines, barriers to access, and the presence of medical skepticism in marginalized communities. Moderator and NAMI Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth will be joined by a panel of experts, including: •Gail Daumit, MD, MHS, FACP -- Director, ALACRITY Center for Health and Longevity in Mental Illness, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine •Oluwaseun Falade-Nwulia, MBBS, MPH – Assistant Professor, Division of Infectious Diseases, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine •William Lawson, MD, Phd, DLFAPA – Founder and Director, Institute for Reducing Disparities LLC •Jeremiah Rainville, CCHW, CPRS, CCSP, CAMHFA – NAMI Peer Leadership Council Manager Register Here Alternate text Calling all Team captains, walkers and sponsors!
