OUR VISION

Transform how the world understands and responds to vaccination challenges through a global monitoring and impact evaluation system, driving solutions from local insights to global action.

What we do

Global Monitoring

Tracking the state of vaccination barriers and facilitators across diverse geographies with a focus on parental and caregiver decision-making for routine childhood and adolescent vaccines.

Local Insights

Investigating the local drivers of vaccine acceptance in select geographies with high rates of zero-dose children or persistent vaccine confidence challenges to inform targeted interventions.

Demand & Supply

Exploring how community demand for vaccines interacts with practical barriers to shape vaccination outcomes, generating insights to drive end-to-end solutions for vaccine delivery.

Vaccine Equity

Assessing disparities in vaccine access and uptake to identify and address inequities in vaccine demand with a focus on underserved and marginalised communities.

Pandemic Impact

Understanding the lasting effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on parental vaccination behaviours, attitudes, and delivery systems to strengthen future immunisation resilience.

Coverage Forecasts

Producing annual predictions of vaccine acceptance for routine and newly introduced vaccines and technologies, providing forward-looking insights to guide policy decisions.
