Eye on Equity: COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution in the U.S. and Worldwide

Join us for a special COVID-19 Vaccine virtual series hosted by the Geisel School of Medicine and co-sponsored by Dartmouth Alumni Relations and Dartmouth's graduate schools.

Monday, February 22, 2021

Zoom Webinar
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars
Registration required.

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.
