This document is part of a series of operational guidance modules developed to support WHO Member States in the European Region in preparing for and implementing COVID-19 vaccination. The modules were developed by a working group convened by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and consisting of experts from WHO, partner agencies, academia, Member States and other stakeholders.

Objective

Having a fit-for-purpose “governance structure” at both policy and operational levels is critical to achieve the objectives set out in the national COVID-19 vaccine deployment and vaccination plan. This structure envisions to provide the platform to ensure collaboration with stakeholders and include fostering partnership. A defined and effective managerial framework and mechanism must be in place to:

  • provide guidance to preparation, implementation and monitoring of the national COVID-19 vaccine deployment and vaccination plan through intersectoral collaboration and partnerships with relevant governmental and non-governmental entities.
  • ensure the required political commitment and mobilization of adequate resources.
