Dr. Anthony Fauci will speak about the COVID-19 vaccine in a virtual event on Friday co-sponsored by the Governor’s Office, Virginia Department of Health, VCU Massey Cancer Center and faith leaders from the “Facts & Faith Fridays” group.

Facts & Faith Fridays began in March as a weekly call led by Robert Winn, M.D., director of VCU Massey Cancer Center, with African American clergy in Virginia to address the disparate impact the pandemic has had on the Black community.

The call has evolved to address higher rates of cancer and other health issues in diverse communities and continues to address COVID-19.

With the opportunity to hear from Dr. Fauci, the group is inviting interfaith communities and all Virginians to participate in this webinar.
