At 9 pm Eastern on Saturday, April 3, Dr. Yuhong Xu joins UAC’s online event series for “Let’s Talk About Vaccines”, sharing what we know about COVID-19 vaccines and answering your questions. Dr. Xu graduated from the English-language medical program at Xiangya School of Medicine, earned a master’s degree in molecular biology at Cornell University in the US, and completed her residency at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in 2005. She now practices emergency medicine in Cincinnati.

For years, Dr. Jun Xu and his team at Africa Cries Out have carried out charitable work in remote leprosy villages in Senegal, West Africa. Since 2013 he has traveled many times to this isolated place to treat the sick and injured, helping to set up a medical clinic and found a technical school. Despite extremely harsh conditions, scarce funds and resources, and even an Ebola outbreak, they have done everything they can to serve their patients. Their work is widely praised in Africa, the US and China, and in recognition Africa Cries Out has been officially authorized to certify volunteer service hours for American volunteers and to present the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA), the highest US honor for volunteer service.
