Vaccine Equity: The Interdependence Challenge of Our Time

Although COVID-19 vaccines are showing tremendous efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, it’s becoming increasingly clear that a vaccination strategy that does not ensure some level of global vaccine equity will leave all of unnecessarily at risk. We all know that ensuring global vaccine equity is morally justified, but it also might be the best strategy for ending the pandemic and building toward a recovery that helps everyone: How do we turn that vision into a reality? Are intellectual property rights concerns hindering global efforts to produce a vaccine? Would a pandemic treaty help prevent future such challenges? Please join us for this important conversation with voices leading global efforts to address the current, and potential future pandemics.
