Adult immunization: Protecting Adults with Vaccines

The massive experience worldwide vaccinating adults against COVID-19 provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen and expand adult immunization for existing vaccines (influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), tetanus/pertussis containing vaccines, pneumococcal vaccines, zoster, Mpox…) and for those in the pipeline (i.e. new generation of tuberculosis vaccines). Many countries are providing vaccines for adults through their routine services and exploring new entry points as part of primary health care (PHC).

This Community of Practice (CoP) on Adult Immunization aims to create a dynamic and inclusive platform (membership is not restricted) for sharing knowledge, best practices, and peer-learning on adult immunization and with your contributions move towards a world where everyone, everywhere, at EVERY AGE fully benefits from vaccines for good health and well-being, in alignment with IA2030 vision. This CoP is managed by WHO with contributions of many partners.
