Draft global vaccine action plan: Report by the Secretariat

Overview

In May 2011, a report by the Secretariat on the global immunization vision and strategy was noted by the Sixty-fourth World Health Assembly.1 During the discussions the vision for the Decade of Vaccines (2011–2020) and the development of a global vaccine action plan were welcomed. Subsequently, the Executive Board at its 130th session in January 2012 considered the draft global vaccine action plan and provided guidance.2 The Board also adopted resolution EB130.R12 on World Immunization Week.3 The present document provides an updated draft of the action plan that draws on an extensive consultation process, and invites consideration of a draft resolution in relation to the plan.
