Quality, Speed & Equity: Delivering COVID-19 Vaccines to the World

All eyes are on the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. Over the coming months, vaccine manufacturers, regulatory authorities, logistics experts and healthcare practitioners alike are facing the daunting challenge of delivering billions of vaccine doses around the world and ensuring that every dose remains safe and effective.

Achieving the public confidence and broad uptake of COVID-19 vaccines needed to reach population immunity and curb the virus’s spread will require an unprecedented effort among health workers, scientists and stakeholders at every step of the supply chain.

During development and delivery, how will we guarantee that quality is maintained for authorized and approved vaccines? How will we build and strengthen health system capacity to implement quality vaccination services, especially in LMICs facing insufficient health system resources and inadequate vaccine supply? Finding the solutions to these questions will be a defining challenge of 2021 and a key hurdle to getting vaccines to the people who need them the most. This virtual event will convene two expert panels moderated by Zain Verjee (former CNN International Anchor) with participation from Soumya Swaminathan (WHO), Bruce Gellin (Sabin Vaccine Institute), Ron Piervincenzi (USP) and others from organizations central to the COVID-19 response who will dive into existing concerns and explore novel, future solutions that will bolster public trust in the vaccine effort and help ensure an equitable rollout.

Please submit any questions you may have for the event Q&A in advance to [email protected].
