New York, NEW YORK (January 21, 2021) – The New York City Department for the Aging, the Age-friendly NYC Commission, and the Global Coalition on Aging (GCOA), the world's leading business voice on aging, collaborated yesterday on a webinar to help build trust and acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccines for New York’s older adults.

Your editorial “War on superbugs must follow defeat of Covid-19” (FT View, December 29) is exactly right on the facts, but misses three powerful if subtle points.

The Global Coalition on Aging (GCOA), the world's leading business voice on aging, and science-based communications firm Novim today announced our innovative partnership – Alliance to Beat COVID (ABC) – to advance the goals of COVID-19 immunization for all.

A two-dose regimen of BNT162b2 conferred 95% protection against Covid-19 in persons 16 years of age or older. Safety over a median of 2 months was similar to that of other viral vaccines.

GCOA's CEO, Mike Hodin, joined OECD Deputy Secretary General Knudsen and other global leaders on a virtual panel, Healthcare in the Digital Age, as part of an OECD Forum series.
