Covid-19 vaccines were just the beginning… The WHO wants to introduce over 500 new vaccines by 2030.
According to their website, by 2030, the Immunization Agenda aims to:
- Achieve 90% coverage for essential vaccines given in childhood & adolescence
- Halve the number of children who completely miss out on vaccination
- Introduce 500 new vaccines in low & middle-income countries
This is what they want to achieve:
The impact of childhood vaccination is increasing:
- 20 million lives saved in 2001-10
- 30 million lives saved in 2011-20
- 40 million lives will be saved in 2021-30, if global targets are met
