Abstract
This paper briefly reviews global progress and challenges with respect to public vaccination programmes. New vaccine introduction should be viewed as an opportunity to strengthen immunization systems, increase vaccine coverage and reduce inequities of access to immunization services. Global vaccination coverage trends continued to be positive. The Global Immunization Vision and Strategy (GIVS) was developed by WHO and UNICEF as a framework for strengthening national immunization programmes by expanding the reach of immunization, including new vaccines, to every eligible person.
