Global Strategy on Comprehensive Vaccine-Preventable Disease Surveillance

This document is a global strategy for comprehensive vaccine-preventable

disease (VPD) surveillance. It promotes the development of high-functioning

surveillance systems that are:

- Comprehensive, encompassing all vaccine-preventable disease

threats faced by a country, in all geographic areas and populations,

using all laboratory and other methodologies required to detect

diseases reliably; and

- Integrated, wherever possible, taking advantage of shared

infrastructure for components of surveillance such as data management

and laboratory systems.
