Description: As part of this year’s World Immunization Week (2023), the International Vaccine Access Center is hosting a webinar to highlight exciting new vaccines and immunization technology that is on the horizon. An international panel of distinguished experts will present on cutting-edge developments in new vaccines that have the potential to greatly reduce the impact of devastating infectious diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, Shigella, and RSV that currently sicken millions of people worldwide every year. Vaccine micro-array patches are a groundbreaking technology with the potential to dramatically increase the reach of vaccines, helping to prevent future outbreaks. These innovations have the potential to save millions of lives and show that investments in immunization are a reason to celebrate.
As we prioritize routine immunizations in a post-pandemic era, countries are eager to increase their progress toward achieving global immunization goals set prior to the pandemic. In this webinar, the MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity project will share lessons learned from India and Kenya during the pandemic and how they can be applied to routine immunization.
Government officials from India will discuss bringing equitable COVID-19 vaccination to vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations using community engagement and working through local nongovernmental organizations with deep community networks. Hear how this approach can be used to improve routine immunization, especially for populations commonly missed by health services.
Learn about Kenya’s immunization program and what measures were taken to keep immunization coverage from dropping during the pandemic. Hear more about how these new strategies to improve equity and life course vaccination were implemented and what others can gain from the lessons learned.
