Pandemic Planet

The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed significant health disparities in the U.S. In this episode, Julie Morita, Executive Vice President of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, shares the Foundation’s approach to a “culture of health” and discusses the challenge of promoting domestic demand for Covid-19 vaccines while ensuring their equitable distribution. She identifies steps that can be taken to restore people’s trust in vaccines, public health, and science; and describes how working with international partners to ensure an ample supply and effective distribution of vaccines around the world can help the United States protect the health of Americans, as well.
