COVID-19 Vaccine Updates and Latest Information
Since the beginning of 2021, The Institute for Functional Medicine has presented a series of updates for practitioners about the latest medical research on mitigating SARS-CoV-2 infection and addressing post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). These feature members of IFM’s COVID-19 task force and guest subject matter experts addressing the latest updates and answering audience questions. The recordings of all of these updates are available below.
IFM has also released a free online resource called Key Clinical Takeaways for Mitigating SARS-CoV-2 Infection. This online learning module discusses viral mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and offers key clinical considerations and therapeutic interventions to patients at various clinical stages of infection, including pre-exposure, post-exposure without symptoms, and post-exposure with symptoms. It details the specific interventions that you can put into practice right now at this stage of the pandemic to mitigate this risk for all of your patients. Vaccines are helpful in decreasing the severity of illness and the recommendations are helpful for both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.
