Gavi continues to support developing countries to introduce and increase access to vaccines so that they are able to protect every child with a full package of WHO-recommended life-saving vaccines.

This includes introducing new vaccines into the routine schedules of national immunisation programmes and working to protect every child, including those who are hardest to reach – e.g. in poorer urban areas as well as more remote rural locations.

We also support global stockpiles and immunisation campaigns, so the world’s lowest-income countries can be assured of ready access to quality vaccines to protect against disease outbreaks.

In addition, we work to ensure that wealth, geography and gender are not obstacles to immunisation and that children, even in the most fragile settings, benefit from the protection that a complete schedule of vaccines provides.

Objectives:

  • Increase coverage and equity of immunisation
  • Support countries to introduce and scale up new vaccines
  • Respond flexibly to the special needs of children in fragile countries.
