Securing Demand for COVID-19 Vaccinations in LMICs

March 24, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am UTC-5

Securing Demand for COVID-19 Vaccinations in LMICs

As different countries start the process of vaccinating their populations against COVID-19, some struggle with critical issues like vaccine hesitancy. It is vital to ensure adequate demand for vaccination to achieve herd immunity, whereby 70 to 85 percent of the population must be vaccinated. To do this, governments and health organizations must understand and identify the different – and complex – causes of vaccine hesitancy, and design scalable solutions to minimize hesitancy and its consequences as rapidly as possible.

Please join Chemonics and the Global Health Supply Chain Summit Group for a virtual panel discussion bringing together practitioners, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to share insights regarding community objections to COVID-19 vaccinations and key considerations for health systems to ensure vaccine uptake.

The panel discussion will be recorded and made available to registrants.
