Global Update of the 2010 GIVS Goals Global Immunization Meeting New York, 17-19 Feb 2009 JM Okwo-Bele, WHO P. Salama, UNICEF
Projected Changes in Under-5 yr mortality due to VPDs Preventable with current pace of progress with coverage improvements Preventable if coverage is scaled up to 90%, impact of campaigns and widespread use of new vaccines 60%-70% reduction in rate Not preventable by 2015
Are we on track to achieve the GIVS goals ?1. By 2010 or earlier - Increase coverage

Are we on track ? 2. By 2010 or earlier – Reduce Measles Mortality

Status of Measles Control Reaching the 90% global measles reduction goal by 2010 requires : • India starts catch up campaigns • Improved measles coverage for both routine and follow up campaigns • Political support • Adequate funding

Critical to achieve soonest the disease initiatives goals • Key issues • Credibility at stake • Waning commitment • Ways forward • Predictable funding necessary • Commit resources for increased routine coverage in the un-reached • AEFI risk assessment, prevention and management • Expand Case-based surveillance and labnet
Are we on track ?3. By 2015 or earlier – Introduce new vaccines

Implementation of other new vaccines • Japanese Encephalitis • Yellow Fever • Rubella • Pneumo (Conjugate vaccines) • Rotavirus Diarrhoea • Typhoid Fever • HPV • Mening Conjugate A
Accelerating the widespread use of new vaccines • Issues • Complex decision-making processes • Costs of new vaccines, a major barrier • Need to reach the un-reached • Ways forward • Adjust timelines of WHO Recommendations • Support routine immunization coverage (cold chain & logistics, planning …) • Cost reduction strategies • Vaccine presentations / Supply
World Health Assembly Resolution on GIVS report, 24 May 2008 (WHA61.15) • … Concerned that many developing countries are not on track to meet health-related MDG Goals, particularly the target of reducing the under-five mortality rate • URGES Member States: • … to implement fully the strategy for reducing measles mortality… • (2) … to improve delivery of high-quality immunization services (and) achieve equitable coverage of at least 80% in all districts by 2010; • (3) to stimulate rapid introduction of new vaccines in accordance with national priorities and to expand coverage of these vaccines;
In brief, all immunization stakeholders should help to… • Focus on the "lagging" countries • Minimize the imbalance in attention and funding for: • Routine Immunization • Accelerated Disease Control Initiatives • New Vaccines Introduction • Improve collaboration in support of the foundation of immunization !
Getting Results • ‘ Over the past 50 years childhood deaths have dropped dramatically. The number of children born went up, while the number who died was cut in half. I think this is one of the most amazing statistics ever…’ Bill Gates in his first annual letter on the work of BMGF, January 2009

Challenges With Child Health Days • Too many interventions • Some interventions inadequate for campaign delivery • Routine dose of antigens are mostly not part of CHD • Insufficient monitoring of coverage by intervention • Insufficient documentation • Funding not yet sustainable

How Could EPI Contribute to Pneumonia Control? • Sustain protection against measles with 2 doses • Introduction of new and underutilized vaccines (PCV and Hib) • Implementation of integrated package using RED: • Focused health system strengthening approach • Community-Case Management, Promotion of EBF and Hand-washing, Vitamin A • Challenges to consider? • Joint fundraising/leveraging? • Joint planning? • Joint supply management of vaccines and antibiotics? • Joint monthly monitoring? • Integrated surveillance?
Optimal Management of Diarrhea • Approved in 2003 • Recommended for all cases of acute diarrhea: • Low osmolarity ORS • Oral zinc sulfate 20 mg daily for 14 days • Antibiotics in dysentery • No country has as yet implemented this strategy at scale
Global Interdependence … “If we lose sight of our long-term priority to expand opportunity for the world’s poor and abandon our commitments and partnerships to reduce inequity, we run the risk of emerging from the current economic downturn in a world with even greater disparities in health and education and fewer opportunities for people to improve their lives.” Bill Gates, Davos, 2009
