Preparing for Long COVID: COVID-19 and health systems strengthening
Tuesday 16 March 2021 from 12:00-13:00 CET
Many countries are exploring the use of ‘vaccine passports’ to enable
cross-border travel without quarantine restrictions, to reopen sport and
leisure facilities for vaccinated people, or even to work in certain public-
or patient-facing roles. The intention would be to manage the infection risk
for the vaccinated population against the risk for the unvaccinated. But
what are the ethical issues around vaccine passports? What kinds of vaccine
passports are being proposed? What are the practicalities of their
introduction and enforcement? Join us in this webinar to find out if
vaccination passports provide a route out of lockdown.

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.
