What you'll learn in this expert session

Stay up-to-date on the new COVID variants, where we are with boosters and the new vaccinations coming soon. In this presentation, Prof Adrian Esterman will explain the important role of the antivirals, their current indications and the crucial evidence that should guide your choice. It is increasingly difficult to obtain COVID statistics, with only three jurisdictions now providing weekly data. He will provide you with a useful summary of the available international and domestic data, and take a look at new research on long COVID and some other emerging issues that you will find interesting.
