COVID-19 Vaccination toolkit by WHO

While the world is battling the global pandemic national and international organizations work hard to support the countries with guidance, tools and training for the new stage of vaccination of citizens. WHO has created the COVID-19 vaccine introduction toolbox to support Ministries of Health, health workers, partner organizations, and other stakeholders to prepare for and implement COVID-19 vaccination.

The last up-to-date materials you can find on the links below and on the official WHO website.

The COVID-19 vaccine introduction toolkit is now available in all UN languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. The pages will be updated when more resources become available. For questions, comments or feedback, please e-mail: COVID19vaccineresources@who.int.
