The last mile: How will a COVID-19 vaccine make it from plant to patients?

Once a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, it faces a number of logistic hurdles in making it to patients. Those hurdles include figuring out the best distribution channels, coming up with the most ethical and effective prioritization of distribution, convincing patients of its safety and, of course, figuring out who's going to pay for it all. We talk to the companies that are at the heart of making all this happen to better understand the challenges, questions and opportunities at play as the system prepares for the release of a COVID-19 vaccine.
