RSIS Webinar by Dr Khor Swee Kheng

Multiple recent announcements of successful COVID-19 vaccine trials have raised expectations of a rapid end to the pandemic. However, the world must pass through several scientific, political and geopolitical checkpoints before successful deployment of any vaccine(s). For example, how should we strategize for first-, second- and third-generation vaccines, how do we use existing political frameworks to make difficult decisions like “who gets the first doses?” and how should the global political economy of health adapt for this and future pandemics? This webinar aims to dissect the science, politics and geopolitics behind the most monumental mass vaccination program in the history of humanity.
