Initiative Overview
The goal of the Immunisation for All Ages initiative is to accelerate and advance policies that advocate for life-course vaccination by communicating the broader societal value of vaccination for all stages of life at a global and local level, such that policymakers, NGOs, governments, healthcare providers (HCPs) and citizens will support policies that prioritize vaccinations. The mission of IFAA is to expand and improve public awareness and policies that advocate for life course vaccination by learning from and building upon good practices and championing initiatives that will protect lives at all stages around the world. The IFAA is supported by Pfizer.
Steering Committee
The Immunisation for All Ages Steering Committee is responsible for guiding the direction and activities for the initiative with two overarching objectives:
- Identify where the Immunisation for All Ages network is uniquely positioned to address the current challenges, expand awareness, acceptance and access to life-course vaccination advocacy, as well as conduct strategic action planning using insights of the evolving global landscape for life course vaccination;
- Provide guidance and advice on leveraging annual summits to advance the collective strategic vision and lead initiatives that will be supported by a working group of other Immunisation for All Ages initiative participants or members.
