Research by Queen Mary’s Global Policy Institute shows that countries who relied heavily on expert input for their Covid vaccine rollouts and communications campaigns are likely to have a higher proportion of their population fully vaccinated, but attitudes towards vaccination have the most impact on uptake.
The Research England funded project ‘A global mapping of vaccination policies and the role of experts’ combined a study of Covid-19 vaccine rollouts in different countries with data on the use of expertise and evidence-informed policies in pandemic management to form an interactive map. The map illustrates experts’ diverse involvement in the vaccination effort in 16 countries, as well as information on vaccine rollouts in countries around the world.
This report sets out the research in full, including profiles for each of the 16 countries studied.
