Now is the time to energize a global movement and collective accountability to make vaccines equitably accessible to everyone. The Immunization Agenda 2030 creates a clear vision of a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age fully benefits from vaccines for good health and well-being. Diseases do not respect borders, and neither should our fight for full global immunization.\n\nOur esteemed panel of advocates and immunization experts will take a hard look at what it will take to make that vision a reality in the next decade: How will gaps in immunization coverage and equity be addressed, especially among marginalized and disadvantaged groups in low- and middle-income countries?

During World Immunization Week 2021, the International Vaccine Access Center will co-host a panel event with Shot@Life to highlight how COVID-19 has exposed and exacerbated global health inequities, and how the new Immunization Agenda 2030 Framework for Action charts a path to equitable immunization coverage for everyone.

Prior to the pandemic, more children than ever before had been immunized. At the same time, far too many were left behind; nearly 14 million children never received any vaccinations.

Although COVID-19 has taken a massive toll on the world, it is time to look not just at the challenges but also at the opportunities. Now is the time to energize a global movement and collective accountability to make vaccines equitably accessible to everyone. The Immunization Agenda 2030 creates a clear vision of a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age fully benefits from vaccines for good health and well-being. Diseases do not respect borders, and neither should our fight for full global immunization.

Our esteemed panel of advocates and immunization experts will take a hard look at what it will take to make that vision a reality in the next decade: How will gaps in immunization coverage and equity be addressed, especially among marginalized and disadvantaged groups in low- and middle-income countries? How will immunization systems identify children who have never been vaccinated, ensuring they don’t miss out on protection from deadly disease?

Join us to find out and discuss how we can work together to ensure everyone, everywhere is protected by full immunization.
