Now is the time to prepare for the availability of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, particularly since currently only 65 percent of Americans report they will be willing to get a FDA-approved vaccine provided at no cost. A vaccine will be an essential component to fully reopening schools and businesses and getting back to the activities that we love, so we must develop ways to improve uptake now, before the vaccine is available. For sure, in addition to being affordable, receiving the vaccine should be convenient, particularly if it ends up requiring multiple doses. It should be offered at schools, employers, and pharmacies, at minimum.
