Protecting the population
Protecting populations from getting sick and eradicating disease is a global priority.
Positive lessons have been learned during COVID-19, particularly the speed with which the NHS embraced digital solutions and delivered a successful vaccination programme.
We know that vaccination programmes are most effective when you can identify the right people at the right time. Contacting the hard to reach groups and identifying ways to encourage uptake are major challenges faced in health and care today.
