COVID-19 vaccine country readiness and delivery

This page is no longer updated. Please see The COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership. 

The The COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership builds on the substantial body of work realized by the Country Readiness and Delivery (CRD) workstream that was part of COVAX since early 2020, and which made available global guidance and coordinated technical support for the implementation of COVID-19 vaccines. 

The Country Readiness and Delivery (CRD) workstream was part of COVAX, the vaccines pillar of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator. Through the CRD workstream, WHO, UNICEF, the GAVI Secretariat, and partners worked together at the global and regional levels to develop and disseminate adaptable global resources (e.g., guidance, trainings, tools, and communication materials) and coordinate and provide technical assistance to support the implementation of COVID-19 vaccines. The CRD also collaborated closely across the ACT Accelerator to promote a cohesive approach to COVID-19 vaccination.

Please access the COVID-19 vaccine introduction toolbox (linked below) for guidance. These resources can help governments, health workers, and partners to design a range of strategies to increase the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination.
