COVID-19 is a serious health threat and the situation is evolving daily. In these uncertain times, it’s normal to feel anxious, especially for those with underlying health conditions. Talking to people you can trust and getting the information you need can help.

The Kidney Foundation, in partnership with The Canadian Society of Nephrology is proud to present a webinar specifically for dialysis patients.

  • The impact of COVID-19 on the dialysis population
  • The COVID-19 vaccination and how it may relate to the dialysis population
  • Dialysis patient, Vince Andrews will offer his personal perspective on vaccination
