Abstract
If recent events have taught us one thing, it is that vaccines are a critical tool to help combat today’s public health challenges and prevent those yet to come. The recent drop in pediatric vaccination rates has led to a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles. Meanwhile, the coronavirus outbreak shows us that when pandemics occur, our healthcare system needs to have a way to quickly react and get preventative treatments to a broad population in a timely manner.
