Policy Session: Development of COVID-19 Vaccines, Treatment and Technology
As states start and continue the post-COVID-19 reopening process, most buildings (corporate, educational, community, entertainment, sports) and mass transit will not be able to operate at or close to capacity, if at all, without a widely available COVID-19 vaccine. Researchers are also trying to find effective treatments for those who contract the disease, with or without vaccines. This session will provide an on-the-ground progress horizon from pharmaceutical research companies on the front lines, the participation of people of color in clinical trials, and the accessibility of vaccines and treatments.  We will also explore new in-hospital and in-home technologies that can help prevent COVID-19 deaths.


Moderator: Senator Daniel Ivey-Soto (NM), President, NHCSL

Panelist: Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director, NIAID
Congressman Raul Ruiz (CA), M.D. 
 
Richard Gannotta, NP, DHA, FACHE Snr. VP, Masimo
