Contribution of the Information System to the Vaccination Campaign’s Success against Covid-19 in Morocco

Abstract

Because of the fatal consequences of covid-19 pandemic, the vaccination against the Covid-19 virus was the best solution in order to limit the pandemic’s spread. Morocco was from the countries that instigate the vaccination operation.

So as to manage the vaccination campaign, an information system has been implemented at all vaccination centers, in urban and rural areas. The objective of our research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the information system set up, and to elucidate the role it plays in improving the performance of the vaccination campaign.

Method: The study was focused on the development of the vaccination campaign process. Then, the vaccination campaign was evaluated by currying two surveys of vaccination personnel and vaccinated people at various vaccination centers in Morocco.

Results: The information system played a pivotal role in the success of the vaccination campaign. It facilitated the data collection, the management and the analysis of vaccination-related data through providing a solid technological infrastructure, the information system set up enabled efficient monitoring of vaccine distribution, recording of patient data and scheduling of appointments. It also eased the coordination between the different stakeholders involved, such as healthcare professionals, authorities and vaccine recipients. Due to the information system, the campaign’s progress may be monitored in real time, risk areas identified and strategies adjusted accordingly. Nevertheless, it is important to take into consideration any shortcomings and weaknesses recorded, for the sake of improving future vaccination campaigns.
