Alex started a new discussion, State of inequality in childhood immunization webinarSizeable between- and within-country inequalities in childhood immunization impair progress towards universal coverage of all persons with essential life-saving vaccines. Monitoring global trends in immunization inequalities helps to identify population subgroups that are less likely to benefit from vaccines and provides evidence for tracking progress on regional and global goals and informing equity-oriented interventions.
Over the past decade, WHO has produced a series of global analyses of inequalities in immunization, including a global report on the state of inequality in childhood immunization, published in 2016. A decade later, a recent article published in Vaccines provides a comprehensive global update on the state of within-country inequality in childhood immunization.

MoreSizeable between- and within-country inequalities in childhood immunization impair progress towards universal coverage of all persons with essential life-saving vaccines. Monitoring global trends in immunization inequalities helps to identify population subgroups that are less likely to benefit from vaccines and provides evidence for tracking progress on regional and global goals and informing equity-oriented interventions.
Over the past decade, WHO has produced a series of global analyses of inequalities in immunization, including a global report on the state of inequality in childhood immunization, published in 2016. A decade later, a recent article published in Vaccines provides a comprehensive global update on the state of within-country inequality in childhood immunization. State of inequality in childhood immunization: monitoring progress across low- and middle-income countries over the past decade assesses the latest situation of inequality and the change in inequality over time across up to 92 countries, areas and territories, for nine childhood immunization indicators (seven coverage indicators and two indicators of non-receipt of vaccines) by five dimensions of inequality (child sex, mother’s age, mother’s education, household economic status and place of residence). The article is accompanied by interactive visuals.
The webinar will feature a presentation of the key findings of the article and a panel discussion by subject matter experts from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF and WHO.
When: 30 April, 1pm CEST

Alex started a new discussion, New Covid-19 topic page on TechNetTechNet has recently released a page that gathers major technical guidance documents from WHO on maintaining immunization services during the Covid-19 pandemic: https://www.technet-21.org/en/topics/covid-19
Currently, you'll find global guidance as well as guidance from WHO regions. In addition, the page offers a list of the excellent OpenWHO Covid-19 learning resources.
We'll update this page as often as possible. Please finally note that it doesn't intend to replace the WHO website that also provides a full list of country and technical guidance on Covid-19.
Should you feel there's an important document that should be added to that list, don't hesitate to contact me to let us know.

Alex started a new discussion, Reprint Online: 50 Years of Immunization—Steps ForwardWe are pleased to inform you that the Special Issue reprint book "50 Years of Immunization—Steps Forward" has been published online (https://www.mdpi.com/books/reprint/11282-50-years-of-immunization-steps-forward).
Summary:
“50 Years of Immunization – Steps Forward” is a compelling volume that chronicles the evolution, achievements, and future directions of one of the most impactful public health initiatives in history—the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI).
Launched in 1974, EPI aimed to ensure equitable access to life-saving vaccines for every child, regardless of location or socioeconomic status. Over five decades, this global effort has significantly expanded vaccine coverage, reduced childhood mortality, and evolved into the Essential Programme on Immunization, now encompassing vaccines across the life course—including for adolescents and adults.
This Special Issue of the journal Vaccines brings together over 25 articles authored by global experts and public...

Alex started a new discussion, Vaccines eligible for WHO Prequalification - 2024-2026 priority listDear all,
The WHO Prequalified team has published the priority list for 2024-2026: https://extranet.who.int/prequal/vaccines/vaccines-eligible-who-prequalification
The priority categorization of vaccines is established by the WHO in consultation with UNICEF and the Revolving Fund of the Pan American Health Organization. Both of these UN procurement agencies use the prequalification of vaccines service. Four criteria are used to determine the priority category for each vaccine:
- demand in UN-supplied markets, including planned new vaccine introductions
- suitability for WHO programmatic needs, in compliance with Inaternational Health Regulations, eradication, elimination or control initiatives and considerations of individual immunization programmes
- recommendations of WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on immunization
- supply security, indicated by the number, diversity and production capacity of suppliers
