The action should cover:

a) mapping public health evidence and research results on COVID-19 large-scale vaccination that could be relevant for uptake, including findings, from Member States and outside of the Union;

b) identifying challenges and assess the feasibility to implement solutions in Member States, based on the mapping and taking country-specific factors into account;

c) developing implementation plans and pilot activities to respond to the current pandemic context or future health crises, or to optimise current routine vaccination practices, including catch-up vaccination;

d) implementing the pilot activities in volunteering Member States including the activities identified as potentially most effective (e.g. training programmes for health professionals, awareness-raising campaigns to tackle vaccine hesitancy, health preparedness training programmes, infrastructure initiatives, dedicated events for the exchange of good practices, risk communication and community engagement etc.);

e) identifying successful pilot activities and, based on these, develop a robust sustainability plan for continued implementation and toolkits and recommendations for upscaling in other Member States.
