The Global Advocacy Approaches to Immunisation for All Ages webinar was jointly organised with International Federation on Ageing along with members of the Immunisation for All Ages initiative. It aimed to encourage all governments to prioritise immunisation across the life course as a central component of Universal Health Care, remove barriers to access for appropriate immunisation throughout life and reduce inequalities in the timely, appropriate and affordable access to immunisation throughout life.

The Making Immunisation Interventions Successful webinar explored successful interventions that have been applied internationally and celebrated the importance of countries adopting strategic approaches to ensure the highest level of vaccination in each community.

In the Equitable Access to COVID-19 Vaccine for All webinar world champions involved in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic from around the world discussed challenges and leverages to guarantee equitable access to COVID-19 immunisation.
