WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) announced that he will be holding a telephone town hall on Tuesday, August 18th at 6:30pm to discuss the ongoing development of a potential vaccine to COVID-19. Congressman Kim will be joined by Dr. Michael Kinch, an expert in the development of vaccines. Dr. Kinch currently serves as an Associate Vice Chancellor at Washington University in St. Louis, where he helps lead efforts on innovation in biopharmaceutical research.
"We all want to see an end to this pandemic, and a vaccine will play a big role in getting people back to work and school safely," said Congressman Kim. "I've gotten a lot of questions in the past months about what that looks like; people want to know when a vaccine will be approved, if it will be safe, and when they'll be able to get one. I'm proud to be joined by Dr. Kinch to answer these questions and provide some clarity for our neighbors across Burlington and Ocean Counties."
Congressman Kim is a member of the bipartisan House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, where he serves as one of twelve members of the House tasked with conducting oversight over programs aimed at ending the Coronavirus pandemic and helping address the economic impact it's having on the American people.
