The UN System-wide COVID-19 Vaccination Programme
The UN is committed to ensuring the protection of its personnel. Tasked by the Secretary-General, the Department of Operational Support (DOS) is leading a coordinated, UN system-wide approach to ensure the availability of vaccine to UN personnel, their dependents and implementing partners. The roll-out of the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme for UN personnel will provide a significant boost to the ability of personnel to stay and deliver on the Organization's mandates, to support beneficiaries in the communities they serve, and to contribute to our on-going work to recover better together from the pandemic. Please find below information and resources available on the UN System-wide COVID-19 Vaccination Programme.
