BRI-CEE member, David Ponka, with his colleagues conducted a cross-sectional online survey to understand the approach used by a diverse group of international primary health care professionals in delivering their COVID-19 vaccination programmes, as well as their perspectives on public health and primary care integration while implementing national COVID-19 vaccination programmes in their own jurisdictions.
Their results indicated that integrated health systems can lead to a greater impact in the rollout of the

The study will provide insight and key learnings for improving vaccination efforts for COVID-19 and possible future pandemics.
