C19C Student Feature: Ozair Naqvi

The COVID-19 Committee (C19C) is a student-led committee that recruits and connects OUHSC students to COVID-19 projects and initiatives happening on campus. The C19C also recognizes student involvement in the fight to end the pandemic.

Ozair Naqvi, a PhD candidate in Epidemiology, is a former epidemiologist from the Acute Disease Service of the Oklahoma State Department of Health where he worked 24/7 on the state’s COVID-19 emergency response team for 16 straight months before returning to school. He now partners with the Oklahoma Alliance for Healthy Families to share scientific information on everyday actions people can take to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 infection.
