The Race to Return Safe

2021 Health Trends

Our industry’s response to COVID-19 has changed the global conversation about the impact pharmaceutical development has on lives and families. Today, we’re seeing a resurgence in public faith in medical innovation as companies race to develop diagnostics, treatments and vaccines in what we all hope will be record time.

2021 represents a critical pivot point where life sciences either builds on this new awareness of discovery and clinical participation or fights through a battle of vaccine hesitancy. This year, we do the work to show the impact, safety, integrity and mission the industry has long been committed to. The longer-term impact is stronger relationships with the advocates, prescribers and patients we all serve.

Critical Question

How do we leverage this moment of industry impact to build enduring trust and a strong understanding of the need to participate in clinical development?

In early fall polling, 35% of Americans said that they would not take a COVID-19 vaccine, even if the FDA approved and provided it at no cost. 1:6 people in the UK agreed, saying they are unlikely to or definitely will not get the vaccine.
