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 equity is to ensure that everyone has the same chances and opportunities to access and benefit from immunization services.
Immunization programmes will only succeed in expanding coverage and equity when gender roles, norms and relations are understood, analyzed and accounted for as part of service planning and delivery.
Why Gender Matters : IA2030 is a user-friendly resource for everyone engaged in supporting, managing or implementing immunization programmes, and outlines the need for gender mainstreaming across the core principles and strategic priorities of IA2030.
