Date: December 6, 2020 at 7:05:26 PM EST



In case anyone is interested, I think this will be a good discussion of where we are with vaccines and will touch on a number of issues related to vaccine safety and efficacy, licensure, prioritization, logistics, etc.  It will include an open Q and A.  Peggy Hamburg, former FDA Commissioner is one of the speakers and is terrific.  Best regards, Bruce
