Global Observatory of COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives
Tracking COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives Across the Globe...
The availability of the COVID-19 Vaccines was a turning point in the global pandemic which was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. While making vaccines available was a major challenge that the global public health community has to deal with, the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy also has been a significant challenge faced in some parts of the world. Incentives have been used as tools to promote vaccine acceptance in some parts of the world. Do vaccine incentives work? Yes? No? The Global Observatory of COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives (GOCOVI), as a global virtual platform to track COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives, will curate and compile evidence in relation to the use of Vaccine Incentives for the promotion of vaccine acceptance.

If the data was concerning the data from the whole country, the evidence was geotagged with the capital city of the country. If the research was discussing issues at the global level, the country which the researchers represented to geocode the evidence.
