Beth Israel Lahey Health to develop new strategies to distribute COVID-19 vaccines
When the first COVID-19 vaccines were approved for emergency use in December 2020, healthcare systems across the Unites States needed to rapidly design and implement their own approaches to distribute COVID-19 vaccines equitably and efficiently.

WASHINGTON – About five years ago, a doctor and medical researcher named Imamjan Ibrahim left Boston for Xinjiang, China, to visit his parents. He never returned.
Now, friends and acquaintances fear the 35-year-old Ibrahim has been swept up in China s massive detention and imprisonment campaign targeting the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities who populate the country s western region.
