Vaccinations are considered a promising way out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although several vaccines are already in use, there are still enormous challenges ahead. For example, because vaccines are not immediately available on a large scale, equitable international allocation must be clarified. Lack of public trust in vaccines is also a problem that needs to be addressed. International experts will discuss these issues, as well as the characteristics of the different types of vaccines, on the occasion of an English-language virtual panel discussion on Wednesday, February 3.
