Professor Peter Hotez is an authority on vaccine development and use in both the U.S. and around the world. He has become one of the most sought-after speakers and interviewees in national media as the issue of vaccines has risen to be one of the most important in the world. Jaime Sepulveda, head of UCSF’s Institute for Global Health Sciences, will discuss some of the issues that relate to vaccine distribution around the world, including issues of equity. Heidi Larson, who leads the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, will discuss why people do and don’t take vaccines, and what can be done to influence uptake rates. Moderator is Bob Wachter, Chair of Medicine, UC San Francisco.
