Strategy drives implementation: COVID vaccination in Israel

Sherry Glied. Isr J Health Policy Res. .

Abstract

This commentary on Rosen, Waitzberg, and Israeli's assessment of Israel's COVID response points to differences in the coherence of each national government's strategy as the key factor influencing the effectiveness of the vaccine drive. The strengths of the Israeli healthcare system facilitated implementation of the roll-out, but the government's unambiguous prioritization of vaccination drove implementation success.

Keywords: COVID-19; Comparative health systems; United States government.
