Ending the COVID-19 pandemic is dependent upon all countries having access to vaccines. But demand is outpacing supply by billions of doses, and many countries still don’t have access to the vaccines they need to control the virus and protect their populations.
This PATH Live Forum will take a closer look at what has worked—and what hasn’t worked—in the global effort to increase equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines. Join our panelists in a discussion about priorities for this pandemic, as well as how to build sustainable immunization systems for future pandemic preparedness.

Ensuring that immunization services are accessible to all individuals is an essential part of primary health care and achieving universal health coverage (UHC). In recent years, vaccines have protected more of the world’s population than ever before, increasing life expectancy and economic growth; yet the use of immunization services has flatlined for a decade. Strategic Priority 1 of the recently launched Immunization Agenda 2030 provides a roadmap that aims to increase and sustain vaccination coverage within a primary healthcare agenda that supports UHC.
USAID's MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership invites you to attend a webinar, “A Roadmap for Progress in Global Immunization Systems,” on Wednesday, May 26 at 9:30am ET.
Panelists will raise awareness among the technical, practitioner, and advocacy communities on the objectives of IA2030 Strategic Priority 1 around primary health care and UHC for immunization services. Please join us as we examine and unpack the core principles of IA2030, ensuring our efforts are people-focused, country-owned, partnership-based, and data-enabled.

PATH’s Living Labs Initiative used human-centered design methods to gather feedback on proposed labels for COVID-19 vaccine vials and cartons. Healthcare workers in Kenya and Zambia interacted with the labels and made recommendations for vaccine manufacturers for labels for future batches. This webinar will cover the human-centered design approaches used in this study and the feedback gathered on healthcare worker preferences for vaccine labelling. Additionally, PATH’s experts will discuss other insights gathered related to the support and training healthcare workers desire to feel confident in administering the COVID-19 vaccine.
