Join Charlotte Mbuh from The Geneva Learning Foundation to learn about the world's new vision and strategy for the future of immunization.

Immunization is one of the best health investments money can buy.

Yet despite tremendous progress, far too many people around the world – including nearly 20 million infants each year – have insufficient access to vaccines.

In some countries, progress has stalled or even reversed, and there is a real risk that complacency will undermine past achievements.

To address these challenges over the next decade, a new global vision and strategy titled ‘Immunization Agenda 2030: A Global Strategy to Leave No One Behind (IA2030)’ has been endorsed by the World Health Assembly.
