Strengthening the Weakest Link in the COVID Vaccine Rollout (.PDF Download)

With a massive effort to vaccinate the world’s populations against COVID-19 underway, there are early signs that the supply chains behind these efforts are often the “weakest links” in these mobilizations. A new Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) report backs up this claim while also examining what can be done now to improve response to future pandemics and other public health emergencies.

In “National Dialogue for Healthcare Innovation: Framework for Private-Public Collaboration on Disaster Preparedness and Response,” HLC and the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy brought together expertise from across public and private sectors to highlight lessons learned, identify innovations that can be maintained or strengthened, and develop recommendations for how the public and private sectors can collaborate to better prepare and respond to the next emergency.
