COVID-19 Vaccine Communication, Misinformation, and Fear
The current attempt to administer COVID-19 vaccines in the United States is encountering numerous obstacles, including skepticism and fear, leading many people to forego them. How does this situation differ from previous mass vaccination campaigns, such as against polio or smallpox? How is it being affected by the growing skepticism surrounding childhood vaccinations? How can misinformation and disinformation be overcome to achieve widespread COVID-19 vaccine uptake? Experts on infectious diseases, behavior change, marketing, racial inequities, and public health will delve into these topics and answer your questions.

Translating Discoveries Faster: Lessons Learned from COVID-19
COVID-19 vaccines have been developed, tested, manufactured, and approved in record time – but delivering them to people who need them has proved challenging in the United States. How did we get these vaccines so quickly? What is behind the slow pace of the rollout? What has been learned from these experiences? Panelists will dig into these questions and more, with an eye on the future.

Eye on Equity: COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution in the U.S. and Worldwide
What will it take to distribute the new vaccines equitably in the U.S. and around the world? International organizations, companies, and governments are collaborating on several important initiatives to produce and distribute vaccines to low-resource countries, but it is unclear how successful those efforts will be. Panelists will review some of the current initiatives and challenges, field questions from the audience, and share their best thinking on how to create equitable systems of vaccine distribution.
