The four short presentations will include:

• "Why Chronic Liver Disease is Considered an Underlying Medical Condition with Increased Risks of Complications from COVID-19"

• "Types of Vaccines: Which One is Right for Me?"

• "Variants: What Does this Mean for Me?"

• "CDC Guidelines: What should I do pre- & post-vaccination to protect myself?"
