COVID-19 has caused significant social and economic disruptions around the world. As quickly as the coronavirus has spread, scientists from all corners of the world have attempted to keep pace with testing investigational new drugs and vaccines as well as repurposing old therapies. This session will review the most recent clinical evidence for the agents that have received FDA approval, emergency use authorization (EUA) as well as those in close contention for FDA analysis. In addition, a brief overview of some of the major consensus guidelines for COVID-19 treatment will be reviewed. Lastly, current recommendations for the development, distribution, and prioritization of vaccine administration will be discussed.
