As part of the North American Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (NAO) Lecture Series we welcome Ruth Waitzberg on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at 9:00 AM. This webinar is free of charge and open to anyone. Forward it to a friend who might be interested.
Following the rapid development of effective COVID-19 vaccines, countries are now facing the challenge of rapidly rolling out vaccination programs 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?
Ruth will highlight three factors that have implications for the long run: availability, provision, and compliance. What are the lessons and concerns for the long run? How might Canada use this experience when swiftly scaling up its vaccination program?
