Pricing Of COVID-19 Treatments And Coronavirus Vaccines

Healthcare providers and patients are hoping that effective COVID-19 treatments and coronavirus vaccines will be widely available soon. However, the regulatory approval of any drug or vaccine is just the first step in determining patient access. Any approved therapeutic must be available in sufficient supply and affordable in order to effectively address this global pandemic.

Policymakers emphasize the importance of making a treatment or vaccine widely available, globally, by way of scale-up of production and assurance of affordability.
