It's all in the details: A call for administering the COVID-19 vaccine in Lebanon through a transparent and un-politicized collaborative approach

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Lebanon is a small low-to middle-income country located in the Eastern Mediterranean whose history is rife with conflicts and political corruption that compromised, and are currently threatening, its stability and development [1]. Two recent events significantly exposed decades of inherent corruption and its dysfunctional system: a severe economic crisis that is arguably the worst since the 1930s Great Depression, and the tragic Beirut Port explosion which resulted in hundreds of thousands of damaged homes, thousands of injuries, and hundreds of deaths [2].
