The race to develop a vaccine to combat COVID-19 is on. Multiple teams around the world, representing universities, government agencies, the private sector and their various combinations are on the hunt for an effective and safe vaccine. Optimistic projections peg a vaccine approval in a matter of months, but most experts don’t expect availability until mid-2021. Irrespective of the time horizon for discovery, the time to plan for a post-vaccine world is now.
