IFPMA recently launched a policy report commissioned to The Health Policy Partnership (HPP), From protection to prevention: The power of immunization for people living with non-communicable diseases, outlining how policy- and decision-makers can ensure that all people living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) receive the immunizations they need to live long and healthy lives.
The policy report explores the intersection between four major NCDs – cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic respiratory disease (CRD), and diabetes – and four key vaccine-preventable respiratory infections – COVID-19, influenza, pneumococcal disease, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
The report is accompanied by four summary infographics.
The report has been commissioned ahead of the fourth high-level meeting of the UN General Assembly on the prevention and control of noncommunicable NCDs and the promotion of mental health and well-being that will take place in New York on 25th September. The new Political Declaration is a chance to place immunization at the centre of our efforts to tackle chronic diseases, protect lives, health systems, and economies.
Any organization or individual working in the field of immunization economics can submit findings, opportunities, calls to action, or other relevant work below to be shared with our community.
