Activity Overview

Vaccinating against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly anticipated countermeasure to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. Mass distribution, allocation, and administration of hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine will require extraordinary planning and execution. While mass administration of the COVID-19 vaccine will be unprecedented, there are best practices and lessons learned in pandemic preparedness, supply chain management, distribution, and clinical practice to guide us as we immunize against SARS-CoV-2. This webinar will address key questions and concerns related to the distribution and access to vaccines and review tools and resources available from ASHP to assist in preparing for COVID-19 vaccine approval and allocation.
