After reaching the two-year anniversary since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, we are once again left with more questions than answers about what the future might look like. But, in order to look at the future, we must first examine the past and the present. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Dr. Lisa Doggett, Senior Medical Director at HGS AxisPoint Health, joins us to talk about lessons learned from:

• What public health got right during the COVID-19 response and some shortcomings;
• The importance of public health communication in times of scientific uncertainty;
• Determining the point at which COVID-19 transitions from a pandemic to endemic; and
• The impact of the pandemic on public health programming such as other immunization campaigns, and cancer prevention and treatment services
