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...

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...
