That is the title of my latest publication with co-authors Marlon Graf, Rifat Tuly, Christoph Glaetzer, Stacey Hickson, and Joey Mattingly. The subtitle is “How to Ensure Continued COVID-19 Vaccine Discovery and Expedite Access“. The abstract is below.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in a catastrophic burden in both health and economic costs. Despite the December 2020 emergency use authorizations of two COVID-19 vaccines, there is still much work left to do.

Implementing these approaches will facilitate the containment of COVID-19 while ensuring that innovators are able to sustain the discovery, development, and delivery of transformational medicines and vaccines, and—most importantly—improve the lives of billions of individuals around the world.
