Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Immunization is one of the most cost-effective health interventions. It prevents 3.5–5 million deaths and saves 2–3 million children from vaccine-preventable diseases every year. Ensuring the effective and sustainable implementation of all national immunization programs is crucial in order to achieve the Immunization Agenda 2030 vision of a “world where everyone, everywhere, at all ages fully benefits from vaccines for good health and well-being”.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and case studies that examine the challenges associated with introducing new vaccines, guided by the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), and welcome innovative approaches to financing and managing national immunization programs, including innovative interventions that facilitate equitable access to vaccines. Manuscripts that discuss national strategies for vaccine procurement, supply chain management, and public–private partnerships that promote the sustainability of immunization are particularly encouraged.
This Special Issue provides an excellent opportunity for researchers and health professionals to share insights regarding the provision of sustainable and equitable immunization programs worldwide. We look forward to receiving contributions that advance knowledge regarding vaccination and the strengthening of the health system in developing countries.
