| Summary: | The global COVID-19 vaccination
campaign, the largest public health initiative ever
undertaken, presents challenges unprecedented in scale,
speed and specificities, especially in low and middle-income
countries. In November 2020, anticipating the availability
of safe and effective vaccines for COVID-19, the World Bank
together with WHO, UNICEF, the Global Fund, and Gavi rolled
out readiness assessments in more than 100 low and
middle-income countries. The key insights from the
assessments to date present a high-level snapshot of country
readiness to deploy COVID-19 vaccines based on initial
findings from ongoing assessments in 128 countries. |
