In 2021, a range of COVID-19 vaccines are available and being rolled out at different rates in various countries. Some countries are seeing severe second and third waves despite starting vaccination programs. Several variants of concern have emerged since September 2020; some with increased transmissibility and severity, others with vaccine-escape. This presentation will look at the current evidence and future predictions of the pandemic, and whether vaccines offer an exit strategy.

Presented by Professor Raina MacIntyre, Head of the Biosecurity Program at the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney. Hosted by the Kirby Institute.
