Why do we need a new, 2021-2030 plan for vaccines and immunization?
Towards a Vision and Strategy for Vaccines and Immunization for the Decade Ahead 2021-2030
With the GVAP coming to an end in 2020,
a new plan is needed to set a compelling,
country-centric vision and direction for
the coming decade;

Address new and emerging issues, and
harness new solutions in vaccines and
immunization;

And re-ignite the importance of
immunization for broader health agendas

                    Immunization will continue to evolve from a focus on infants and children to
                    vaccinating along the life course

                    Country-focus will be key to ownership, political commitment and sustainability of
                    the immunization agenda

The next decade     Approaches to reach un-immunized populations will target increasingly fine and
                    precise areas, thanks to higher-quality data
will need to also
address new and     Focus will be on driving coverage and equity for existing vaccines, leveraging
                    innovations in delivery products and practices
emerging issues,
                    Developing and securing healthy vaccines markets (adequate, continuous supply;
and harness new     affordable prices; etc.) will continue to be a key priority

solutions in        Thoughtful integration with Maternal, Child and Adolescent health programs and
vaccines and        PHC, and collaboration across the ecosystem will be key to deliver at-scale impact

immunization …      Immunization demand and acceptance will also be essential to drive coverage

                    Disease surveillance will be a driving component of high functioning vaccine and
                    immunization systems

                    The role of vaccines in preventing or responding to health emergencies, even more
                    so in fragile contexts, will become ever more important in the next decade

How is the 2021-2030 plan being co-created?
Six principles are guiding development of 2021-2030 plan

                                          Think in novel ways;                         Be collaborative, while
Focus on countries
                                          Engage broadly                               focused and practical
Country impact at center of plan          Think creatively; engage more broadly:       Collaborate with partners throughout
development: focus on country             involve non-immunization partners in         process; generate lean, prioritized,
ownership, implementability, and impact   building plan                                focused, practical plan

Learn from the past                       Build on the existing                        health agendas
Learn lessons from GVAP 2011-20,          Integrate with existing global health,       Lay out how next-generation
