The Saint Leo chapter of the TriBeta Biological Honor Society has organized an educational event for fellow biology majors and other interested individuals—including medical humanities majors, health education and health promotion majors, and pre-nursing majors—about the impact vaccines of various kinds have had on humankind.
The event is scheduled for 5-7 p.m., Monday, November 15, in TECO Hall in the Tapia College of Business building with Zoom access for those who cannot attend in person. There will be time for questions and answers after the first hour of the event.
