A Look Back, A Path Forward: COVID-19

April 26th, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Fourteen months into an unprecedented, worldwide pandemic, we now find ourselves on the precipice of hope. Thanks to the miracle of science and increases in production and distribution, the U.S. is now averaging more than 3 million vaccinations a day. Yet many hurdles remain. A race against a fourth wave driven by variants. A fight to overcome vaccine misinformation and resistance. Enduring inequities in both vaccine access and disease treatment. And a new, long-overdue testing strategy that is still in its nascent stages.

Anthony Fauci, who has led the nation since day one of this crisis, will join Karen DeSalvo, chief health officer of Google Health, Garth Graham, director and global head of healthcare and public health at YouTube, and Harvard experts Michael Mina and Mary Bassett for a special town hall program. Moderated by Axios Health Editor Sam Baker.
