The Top 5 Video Interviews of 2022

A look back on some of the significant discussions with clinicians, researchers, and infectious disease stakeholders.

2022 proved to be a year where the continuation of all things COVID-19 played an important role through much of the year. With discussions around vaccines, Long COVID, and whether it would become endemic or episodic, the virus dominated much of the news in infectious disease.
