The rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. has downgraded the coronavirus pandemic from an existential threat to a manageable challenge, according to Andy Slavitt, former Senior Advisor for COVID Response in the Biden Administration. But despite the great strides we’ve made as a country, there’s still more work to be done. In this episode of the Business Group on Health Podcast, we speak with Andy about his take on tactics to advance vaccination rates across the country, missteps in the pandemic crisis response, and ways we can prevent a future pandemic from scaling so disastrously.
