COVID-19 variants, vaccines and the value of rapid testing

Panorama

As variants evolve, vaccination gaps persist, and mask measures relax, diagnostic testing remains a cornerstone in the global fight against COVID-19. This multi-disciplinary educational program will highlight variant surveillance and testing protocols from Europe to the U.S. and explore the imperative of COVID-19 testing protocols to optimize patient care and public health readiness with an uncertain upcoming influenza season.

Learning Objectives

  • Gain expert insight on virus surveillance from the Abbott Virus Hunters, an expert team that is identifying, cataloging, and tracking evolving COVID-19 strains;
  • Learn the latest on the critical role of routine rapid testing in reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and tracking highly contagious variants;
  • Review practical considerations for testing protocols and use cases in the selection of rapid antigen and molecular testing;
  • Discover ways to manage simultaneous diagnostic demands of COVID-19 and Influenza
