Following the rapid development of effective COVID-19 vaccines, countries are now facing the challenge of rapidly rolling out vaccination programmes to immunize the population and restore as much of normal life as quickly as possible. One of the biggest
challenges has been building robust data systems to identify who is eligible for vaccination, to record who has been vaccinated (when, which dose, and with which vaccine), and to monitor any adverse events for ensuring vaccine safety. However, how
can countries overcome fragmentation in existing data systems? What can we learn from decentralized countries like Belgium? Are the barriers to data sharing logistical or legal? Join us in this webinar to find out more about data collection and data
sharing for implementing the COVID-19 vaccination rollout.

Background
This webinar is part of a series of webinars which draws lessons from country experiences based on the COVID-19 Health System Response Monitor (HSRM) - a joint undertaking with the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the European Commission and the European Observatory. The COVID-19 HSRM builds on the expertise of the Health Systems and Policy Monitor network and the WHO Country Offices and the knowledge
and work of colleagues in the Regional Office and DG SANTE who are dealing with the pandemic and supporting countries. The webinar series is indebted to them all.
