Welcome to the first Healthcare Club weekly newsletter!

Here you can find new content every Monday on a different aspect of business in healthcare. This week’s theme is “Vaccines: Development, Regulation, and Response”. Vaccines have been a hot topic for many years and there are many misconceptions around their manufacturing, use, and safety. Simple in theory, understanding the way that they get from research and development to us can be complex. We hope that these resources help you learn about how vaccines move through development and approval, the business of vaccines, and where we are in the fight against COVID-19.

Our mission is to educate students and strengthen career opportunities at Johnson, the Sloan program of Healthcare Administration, and in the greater Cornell Graduate community. We are students with varied post-MBA goals across general management, marketing, tech, consulting, finance, hospital administration and more. If you have questions the club would love to connect. Send an email to johnsonhcc@cornell.edu or contact any of our members.
