Over time, U.S. vaccine policy has moved from a science and public health issue to one involving the perceived infringement of civil liberties. Assertions of an individual’s right to self-determination, at times accompanied by scientific misinformation, have been set against effective, efficient strategies for community-wide protection. The controversies surrounding the development and future use of a COVID-19 vaccine illustrate this shift. At this event, health policy fellow Dr. Peter Hotez and vaccine expert Dr. Peter Marks will discuss the vaccine approval process, including clinical trials and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration review process. Using the COVID-19 vaccine as an example, panelists will also discuss public hesitancy and ways to improve public trust in vaccines.
This event is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences and The Immunization Partnership, with generous support from Community Health Choice, the Kavli Foundation and the National Science Foundation (Grant No. 2042854).
