Payers, Manufacturers Await Federal Vaccine Rollout Plan With Chart: How Close Are We to a Coronavirus Vaccine?

Payers and PBMs will likely play a critical role in vaccine rollout, but what that will entail is not yet clear. In large part, that’s because both the health insurance industry and pharmaceutical manufacturers are waiting on a vaccine distribution plan from the federal government.
