What’s Next for the COVID-19 Response: A Conversation With Experts

In light of the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the recent strain selection for the next updated COVID-19 vaccine, and the transition from government supply to traditional coverage for COVID-19 vaccines, consumers, health care providers and other stakeholders have a number of questions. To help provide clarity, the COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project (CVEEP) and Vaccinate Your Family hosted a webinar with CDC, FDA, and HHS experts to discuss the latest guidance on who should receive an additional updated vaccine, dosing, and coadministration, in addition to COVID-19 vaccine coverage, access, and availability.

Panelists included:

• Dr. José R. Romero, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• Dr. Peter Marks, Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• Dr. Stephen Cha, Counselor to the Secretary of U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS)
• Amy Pisani, Chief Executive Officer of Vaccinate Your Family (moderator)
