1/n My @WSJ Op Ed: We must plan now for when Covid vaccine supply exceeds demand; and how we create incentives. It starts with setting up framework for making a decision on when we can scale back masks and distancing once sufficient vaccination is reached. https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-to-do-when-theres-a-covid-19-vaccine-glut-11612732696?mod=e2two
2/n More people will seek vaccines if it means they can resume more of their normal life. But lacking definitive data on transmission, we aren't telling people when that will be, or even setting up a transparent process for evaluating the questions and making the recommendations.
3/n Right now, with dense epidemic and uncertainty on scope of infection and transmission with vaccination, we tell public to stay masked after vaccination. At some level of vaccine uptake and declining prevalence; that guidance will change. We need a framework for that decision.
