Eagerly anticipated throughout 2020, COVID-19 vaccines are finally here. At the same time, their roll-out is posing substantial challenges across the EU and beyond, and as the number of available vaccines has grown, so has the number and prevalence of new emerging strains of the virus. Building up a diverse portfolio of vaccines to meet the needs of all communities in Europe, as well as uniting across sectors and borders in the vaccination effort, has never been more important.

This first webinar in a series of digital roundtables, organised by EHFG in partnership with Valneva under the heading ‘United immunising against COVID-19’, will look back at successes and roadblocks experienced in acquiring and administering the first COVID-19 vaccines, as well as forward, armed with the lessons learned. Join us and a panel of high-level experts to discuss a sustainable vision for the future of COVID-19 vaccinations and register now!

• John Ryan, Director Public Health, DG SANTE, European Commission
