Description:

The UK's vaccine rollout has made a good start. This panel discussed the reasons behind the early success and explore the questions the government faces – around prioritisation, the threat of variants and vaccine diplomacy – as it extends the rollout. It also explored the long-term lessons of the vaccine programme, and how the UK should capitalise on its life sciences expertise.

On the panel to discuss these questions were:

  • George Freeman, MP for Mid Norfolk and former Minister for Life Sciences
  • Tom Chivers, Author and Science Editor at Unherd
  • Dr Rebecca Fisher, GP and Senior Policy Fellow at The Health Foundation
  • Professor Robin Shattock, Chair in Mucosal Infection and Immunity and Covid-19 vaccine lead at Imperial College London

The event was chaired by Tom Sasse, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.

We would like to thank The Forum – Imperial College London for kindly supporting this event.
