The Wall Street Journal recently identified some of the challenges facing the vaccine industry, and society: The malfunctioning of the small but vital marketplace for vaccines in America; product liability lawsuits impeding vaccine development and shrinking profit margins have driven many producers out of this indispensable business; and the government exercise of monopsony power in the vaccine market. We need a vital vaccine industry in collaboration with a well functioning reorganized Public Health System to contain menacing scourges and to keep contagion in check. 

The organizers of this event gratefully acknowledge the support of Boston Private Bank.
