About this webinar


With this webinar, we would like to share with you some of the new tools and resources WHO has developed to support countries in monitoring inequalities in immunization: 


French, Portuguese and Spanish versions of the Inequality monitoring in immunization: a step-by-step manual, a detailed guide to monitoring inequalities in immunization.


Updated versions of the Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT and HEAT Plus), a software application for assessing health inequalities, including in immunization.


 


Background


The WHO Immunization Agenda 2030: a global strategy to leave no one behind envisions a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age, fully benefits from vaccines for good health and wellbeing. The new Gavi five-year strategy (‘Gavi 5.0’) has the vision to ‘leave no one behind with immunization’ and increase equitable use of vaccines. This year’s World Immunization Week highlights that #VaccinesWork to bring us closer – including to a fairer, healthier world.


 


Key messages


Monitoring inequalities in immunization is essential to ensuring no one is left behind and achieving equity in immunization, including for COVID-19.Inequality monitoring in immunization should be an integral part of a country’s health information system.


To support countries in building capacity for the uptake and improvement of health inequality monitoring, including in immunization, the WHO has developed several tools and resources, including a global status report, an in-depth equity report, a step-by-step manual and a software application. All materials are publicly available via the WHO Health Equity Monitor.


This April 2021, WHO is launching French, Portuguese and Spanish versions of the Inequality monitoring in immunization: a step-by-step manual as well as new versions of the Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT and HEAT Plus) software.


Going forward, WHO will continue to support countries in monitoring inequalities in immunization (e.g. through self-paced online courses and facilitated training workshops). WHO will also continue to generate global evidence on inequality in immunization, including in zero-dose children and gender barriers to immunization.
