Today’s topic could hardly be of greater interest: the hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine.
And at the forefront of that effort are the world’s pharmaceutical companies, which are pursuing multiple initiatives to find a vaccine.
To discuss that effort is today’s guest, Clement Lewin, associate vice president for Vaccines R&D Strategy at the pharmaceutical firm Sanofi Pasteur. Lewin, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of London in medical microbiology and has extensive experience in the field of vaccine development, discusses the overall efforts to create a vaccine for COVID-19, and also explain the role state legislators and other policymakers can play in the vaccine process.
This podcast was sponsored by Sanofi Pasteur, a member of the NCSL Foundation for State Legislatures.
