The Immunization Economics Community of Practice brings together a wide-ranging set of stakeholders with an interest in the generation and use of economic evidence to help improve immunization programs in low- and middle-income countries. The community is comprised of over 3,500 members worldwide, including government policymakers, public health practitioners, technical experts, private sector representatives, researchers, donors, and others.
Our members and partners generate evidence, guidance, tools, analysis, and policy briefs on a range of topics related to immunization economics. Here is a snapshot of some key focus areas, click on each to see the latest materials:
