Will the COVID-19 vaccines end the pandemic? The good news is several vaccines have shown positive initial efficacy results and targeted distribution will start in late 2020. The challenge is that full distribution will require a massive, logistically complicated, and time-compressed effort that will fall on state and local government entities to manage. The time to prepare is now.


Attend this webinar as we address:

  • What we know about the state of vaccine distribution: correlated information from the Federal government and potential changed with the incoming Administration. 
  • Logistical and communication challenges governments will face as they manage a targeted distribution.
  • How Everbridge can help governments accomplish an effective rollout, including communicating with vulnerable populations, language and cultural diversity, managing distribution for follow-up dosages and adverse reactions, communicating at both large scale and hyperlocal targeting, expanding reach through an Everbridge database of landline and cellular phone numbers. 


COVID-19 vaccines have been the collective effort of thousands of individuals and organizations. Attend Vaccine Distribution: How Governments Can Prepare to ensure we do our part to bring us out of this public health emergency.
