🌍 Meet Dr Kate O’Brien, Director of the Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals at the World Health Organization (WHO) for a #TeachToReach Lightning Chat ahead of the main event.

Since the launch of the Expanded Programme for Immunization (EPI) in 1974, vaccination has saved 154 million lives.

💉 As we celebrate 50 years of EPI, Dr O’Brien will reflect on the programme’s most significant achievements and the challenges that lie ahead in the next 50 years.

🗣️ How can we amplify the voices of health workers and the communities they serve to ensure that the next 50 years of EPI are shaped by the realities and wisdom of communities most affected?

🌡️ Together, we’ll explore how immunization programmes can adapt to the new realities of a changing climate, and the critical role of health workers in building trust, reaching the unreached, and ensuring no one is left behind.

🤝 This dialogue between a global leader and health professionals in the Teach to Reach network is about the power of connecting expertise across geographies and levels of the health system to drive innovation and resilience.

📅 The Chat is a preview of the urgent topics that will be explored in-depth at Teach to Reach 10 on 20-21 June, where health workers will share their experiences navigating the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of climate change and health.

Join us to be part of this vital dialogue on reimagining immunization in a changing world to protect the health of all.
