    NEW! WHO resources on Catch-up Vaccination

    NEW!  WHO resources on Catch-up Vaccination

    1.       Leave No One Behind: Guidance for planning and implementing catch-up vaccination – this is a foundational document that covers catch-up vaccination as an essential component of a strong immunization programme, outlining the basic system enablers required to allow and promote catch-up through routine immunization. 

    The guidance consists of two parts:

    a.       Section 1: Principles of catch-up vaccination

    b.       Section 2: Special catch-up vaccination efforts following an interruption of services

    Catch up cover 140

    2.       Closing immunization gaps caused by COVID-19 (PPT) – this resource aims to address the more immediate needs of prioritizing strategies for restarting immunization services and planning mass catch-up activities. This highlights key considerations in the context of Covid-19 for various catch-up strategies and makes reference, where applicable, to more comprehensive resources available.

  • The WHO Department of Immunization Vaccines and Biologicals (IVB) is pleased to announce an upcoming webinar series Why Gender Matters for Immunization: IA2030

    The Immunization Agenda 2030 envisions a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age, fully benefits from vaccines to improve health and well-being. Gender-related barriers and gender inequality can prevent people, both male and female, from getting vaccinated. The goal of gender equality is to ensure that everyone has the same chances and opportunities to access and benefit from immunization services.

    This webinar series, based on the joint WHO, UNICEF, and Gavi guidance document Why Gender Matters: IA2030, aims to improve awareness and understanding of how gender-related barriers impact immunization and to showcase examples of gender-responsive programming to improve coverage and equity. Through practical examples and best practices from around the world, the series will highlight practical tools and methods to...

  •  Options for linking health interventions for adolescents with HPV vaccination
    HPV vaccination targets 9 to 13 year old girls, an age group with few contacts with the health system. Vaccination provides a good entry point for other health care services and an excellent opportunity for integrating services at the delivery level.

  • This new implementation guidance summarizes and builds on current global recommendations and programmatic considerations for establishing and/or strengthening platforms for the vaccination of health workers. 

    While this area has recently gained increased attention through the COVID-19 vaccination rollout, it is a critical time to advocate for the importance of protecting health workers against other VPDs as well. Health worker vaccination programmes are a key element of occupational safety and health, as well as important platforms for facilitating a life-course approach to vaccination.  

    Target audience: Policy decision-makers in ministries of health (MOHs) and ministries of employment and labour, immunization managers and managers of health facilities, professional associations of various groups of health workers, and organizations of workers and employers in the health sector. This guide will be useful for countries that do not yet have a policy and programme in place, as well...
