As the COVID-19 Digital Response continues to create global goods with scalable digital solutions using open standards and approaches, there is a need to focus on building and supporting pandemic preparedness capabilities in low- and middle-income countries.
One focus area are digital health solutions that accelerate vaccination campaigns globally,and especially in LMICs where they can maximize impact and recovery of marginalized communities and health systems.
