Coronavirus Vaccine: Addressing Challenges in Distribution and Uptake
Virtual Conversation with Dayna Bowen Matthew, JD, PhD, Caroline Johnson, MD, Nicole Lurie, MD, MSPH, and Paul Offit, MD, moderated by Alison Buttenheim, PhD, MBA
The world is rushing to create a safe and effective vaccine for the novel coronavirus. But even with an effective vaccine, challenges will remain, including implementing an equitable and fair system of distributing the vaccine. Our panel of experts discussed key issues surrounding COVID-19 vaccine distribution and uptake. Following a short update on COVD-19 vaccine development, the panel discussed the ethical and equity challenges in deciding who should receive a vaccine first, and how to overcome widespread vaccine hesitancy to stem the pandemic.
