We would like to thank Hannah Yoon, Jessica Flohr, Gabby Dietz, and Alexis Smith for their research assistance. Thank you to Kaitlyn Simpson for her assistance with the project’s environmental scan and focus groups. We appreciate the valuable input of the patients, families, caregivers, health care providers and pre-hospital first responders, and experts who shared their experiences and knowledge during the project’s focus groups and roundtable. We also appreciate the careful review of the report by Joe Stubbersfield, Luke Matthews, Paul Koegel, and Jeanne Ringel. 

We dedicate this report to the scientists who helped develop the COVID-19 vaccines and the patients who volunteered in clinical vaccine trials to test their safety. We appreciate your contributions to advance our collective quest to end this pandemic and curb the suffering it has caused.
