Covid-19 vaccination rollout: Reflecting on the Israeli experience
Tuesday 16 February 2021 from 12:00-13:00 CET
Following the rapid development of effective COVID-19 vaccines, countries
are now facing the challenge of rapidly rolling out vaccination programmes
to immunize the population and restore as much of normal life as quickly as
possible. The example of Israel is often presented as the model for early
rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations but what were the specific factors
contributing to this early success? What was the contribution of existing
infrastructure, organizational and health workforce capacities? What are the
lessons and concerns for the long term? How might other countries use this
experience when swiftly scaling up their vaccination programmes? Join us in
this webinar to reflect on the Israeli experience of COVID-19 vaccination
rollout.

This webinar is part of a series of webinars which draws lessons from
country experiences based on the
COVID-19 Health System Response Monitor (HSRM) - a joint undertaking
with the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the European Commission and the
European Observatory. The COVID-19 HSRM builds on the expertise of the
Health Systems and Policy Monitor network and the WHO Country Offices
and the knowledge and work of colleagues in the Regional Office and DG
SANTE who are dealing with the pandemic and supporting countries. The
webinar series is indebted to them all.
