To Be Young, Gifted, and COVID-Free Q&A: Why are we seeing more young people get COVID now? And what are some of the risk factors for young adults that contract COVID?

“Young, Gifted, and COVID-Free” was a town-hall style event held on October 14, 2021. Hosted by Alive & In Color in partnership with Georgia Community Engagement Alliance Against COVID-19 (CEAL), young adults, along with medical experts and youth advocates, shared solutions that leveraged the collective power of our most promising voices to create COVID-free futures.

Here, Tabia Henry Akintobi, PhD, MPH, Professor & Associate Dean at Morehouse School of Medicine, talks about why we are seeing more young people getting COVID-19.
