‘Global Immunisation Vision & Strategy’ launched

Developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO), UNICEF and the National Institute for Health (NIH), the Global Immunisation Vision & Strategy (GIVS) was the first 10-year strategy (2006 – 2015) to realise the full potential of global immunisation.


Over 70 countries developed multi-year plans to attain the GIVS Goals at the midpoint in 2010 or earlier.

These goals included:

  1. Reach between 80-90% vaccination coverage at national and district level.
  2. Introduce new vaccines and technologies.
  3. Integrating immunisation, other health interventions and surveillance in the health system context
  4. Immunising in the context of global interdependence.
