This study by Frost & Sullivan’s Healthcare and Life Sciences team provides critical insights into the US COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics market, including developing vaccines, supply chain considerations, and requirements to manage distribution. The study also identifies actionable and profitable growth opportunities for industry participants. The US response to the pandemic has been disorganized and made worse with the politicization of vaccine approval and distribution, creating distrust and delaying the country’s vaccination program. Each state in the US has its own vaccination strategy and as such, state health department websites are critical sources of information on when, where, and how to get vaccines.

Maintaining vaccine integrity through all stages of the supply chain requires never-before-seen levels of monitoring and coordination among stakeholders. Partnerships between input supply firms and distributors are as critical as collaborations between vaccine sponsors and contract manufacturers to scale up production for mass immunization.
