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