PROJECT FACT SHEET

COVID Vaccinator Training - National Mass Vaccination Centres

HEADLINE: 2,500 Trained in 2 Months, 5,000 in 6 Months, 10,000 potential vaccinators.

In February 2021, the Health Service Executive (HSE) was faced with a huge challenge. It needed to train a large number of vaccinators at short notice to support vaccination centres throughout Ireland for the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccines. The HSE working group asked VISION Consulting (VISION) to fulfil a key mobilisation and coordination role at the centre of this sourcing and training process to train 2,500 vaccinators within two months, and a total of 5,000 vaccinators within six months. The programme involved coordinating closely with the relevant medical regulatory bodies, national recruiters and other sourcing partners internal HSE teams, and a training partner with national reach.
