On Tuesday, October 27 NEHI hosted a virtual briefing for Massachusetts policymakers and its membership on the status of value-based arrangements for pharmaceuticals in Massachusetts.

The briefing ("Next Generation Value-based Arrangements in Massachusetts: The Road Ahead") featured four distinguished experts. 

NEHI held its third summit in a series of four virtual meetings on COVID-19 immunization on November 10, 2020. The summit, Looming Challenges of COVID-19 Immunization: Progress and Gaps, charged into two key issues in COVID-19 vaccination: building trust in the COVID-19 vaccines that will be available in the months ahead, and assuring they are administered efficiently and equitably. 

The following is a summary of panelists’ insights and NEHI’s possible solutions to addressing the issues raised.

October 5, 2020 -- Public reluctance to support mass immunization against COVID-19 should serve as an alarm for the United States to improve its overall infrastructure for vaccination and build the public health resilience that is clearly lacking now, write Warring Wendy and Tom Hubbard of NEHI.
