Countries around the world are expected to experience four times the pace in vaccine to market delivery and at four times the scale of past vaccination efforts, according to recent research by McKinsey & Company. No country nor company has experienced this magnitude of pace and scale simultaneously. In fact, to deploy approved COVID-19 vaccines into local communities as efficiently as possible, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is leveraging existing private-sector infrastructure. Companies of all sizes and across the spectrum of industries such as retail, grocery, and pharmacy, have signed up to support the mass vaccine deployment. However, with multiple new vaccines potentially available to the public soon, consumers will turn to the local and trusted resources in their communities for the latest and most relevant information about these vaccines.
“Businesses like retailers, grocery stores and pharmacies are playing a critical role in getting the vaccines out into our communities,” said Tony Bates, chief executive officer, Genesys. “They will also face unprecedented demand to provide consumers accurate and relevant information about the availability of vaccines and the administration process. Our goal is to support these companies, many of whom are Genesys customers, to provide the most responsive service during this extraordinary time.”

Ninety percent of the 330 million people in the U.S. live within five miles of trusted businesses such as retail, grocery, or pharmacy facilities that may play critical roles in the vaccination delivery process. Businesses across the various potential consumer touchpoints must prepare for the tremendous number of expected public inquiries. The pace and scale of required support are exacerbated by the nature of the need.
