RIMScast


Nov 22, 2021

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.

 

Joining the podcast today to discuss travel risk management is return guest and RIMScast friend, Dr. Adrian Hyzler; the Chief Medical Officer of Healix International!

 

In this episode, Dr. Hyzler provides a well-rounded update on COVID-19, how travel risk management has changed in 2021, what risk professionals should keep top-of-mind as we all look to 2022, and what businesses and employers should be investing to protect their employees going forward. Additionally, Dr. Hyzler also shines a light on the development surrounding the malaria vaccine and the positive impact that it is having worldwide.

 

COVID-19 updates impact our health and our ability to travel and that is why RIMS loves having Dr. Adrian Hyzler return to RIMScast on a seasonal basis. Be sure to tune in to this episode to stay up-to-date on what you need to know as a risk professional about COVID-19 and its vaccines.
