Editor’s note: A recording of this event is embedded below. 

Some experts say that it is inevitable that the rich and powerful will find ways to jump the line for the Covid vaccines. That could include buying supplies of this precious — and limited — commodity outright.

What can be done to prevent this? In this virtual event, STAT’s Nicholas St. Fleur, a Knight-Wallace reporting fellow, will convene a panel of experts to discuss how to make sure the shots get to where they need to go.
