When and How to Get the New COVID Antivirals (with America’s Chief Scientific Officer David Kessler)

Andy brings you information directly from the source to let you know what to expect when the antivirals arrive: who will get them, how to get them, when to get yours, and the biggest question — will they change everything? In an exclusive interview with In the Bubble, Dr. David Kessler, Chief Science Officer of the White House COVID-19 Response Team, tells Andy how he is personally navigating Omicron and what the Biden Administration is doing to ensure that we have the capacity to respond quickly to the next pandemic.
