What is an MRNA vaccine? How does it work? How will it affect my body? What is herd immunity? Will it affect my reproductive system and overall reproductive system health?

Join Sister Diaspora for Liberation for an educational webinar with two trusted community doctors as they help us understand the vaccine so we can all ensure that we are making an accurately informed decision for our bodies and health.

We will be joined by Dr. LeAnne Roberts and Dr. Jeremy Johnson, who will provide an overview of the vaccine and we will then open up to questions from participants.
