12 May 2022

The goal is to safely vaccinate as many women, men, and gender-diverse people as possible, equitably, efficiently, and effectively, to maximize the protective benefits of COVID-19 vaccines. Achieving this goal requires addressing gender-related barriers to vaccine access, information, uptake, and effectiveness. This checklist provides a set of practical actions for countries to implement and ensure gender equality and equity in the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines towards the aim of “leaving no one behind”.

The target audience for this checklist are: 

  • Both COVAX-supported  and self-financing countries, 
  • COVID-19 vaccine deployment Coordinating Committees and
  • National Immunization Program Managers
  • Country stakeholder  responsible for planning, implementing and monitoring COVID-19 vaccine deployment
  • Reviewers of COVID-19 National Deployment and Vaccination Plans (NDVPs)
  • Multilateral development partners supporting vaccine deployment
