Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dramatic and disruptive COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes to health care systems and new challenges to public health. COVID-19 vaccines first became available at the end of 2020, and since then, vaccination has been central to the pandemic response of many countries. The vaccine programme met ever-extending and unprecedented targets in order to offer COVID-19 vaccines to different age groups in a short period of time. Prevention strategies and mass immunisation campaigns have been largely implemented worldwide, and the uptake has exceeded expectations and has been higher than that of other vaccination programmes.
This Special Issue aims to focus on COVID-19 prevention and control with a particular public health perspective. Special interest lies in the analysis and descriptions of policies and strategies concerning vaccination in the context of public health, health policy, and health planning with specific focuses on local, regional, and national approaches, as well as new knowledge on vaccination and any aspect of COVID-19 prevention and control.
The topics should centre around studies related to research articles, reviews, and perspectives directly related to COVID-19 measures, including current and future avenues for the prevention of the disease.
