Administering millions of vaccines is a massive, logistically complicated, time-compressed challenge, and the most important global health initiative of our time. Multiple industries are responsible for their part in this herculean undertaking to save lives, hasten economic recovery, and return to normal life. For an effective vaccine rollout, organizations must overcome unique challenges in vaccine distribution, logistics, communication, safety, and security. Balancing organizational needs, well-being of the community yet respecting individual rights to privacy is of paramount importance. The Everbridge CEM platform provides a common operating platform to manage critical events and ensure redundant protections of people, systems, and processes.
