Abstract

This chapter provides evidence that population health in the Emerging European Economies (EEE) lagged behind the EU average before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. We then assess the direct health impacts of the pandemic in the EEE and how they differed from other European countries. We also offer early evidence on Covid-19 vaccination rates in the EEE.We analyse the policy responses of governments to mitigate the consequences of the Covid-19 shock and discuss the pandemic’s indirect impacts on health and social security. Finally, we draw conclusions for health policy.
