Abstract:

In this complex, ever-changing world, making new or old vaccines available to those children and families who most need them should be a top priority. The strategies of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) for introducing new and underutilized vaccines include three overriding, guiding principles: 1) increase access and equity, 2) accelerate disease control on a regional level, and 3) develop public health infrastructure. This chapter will present how these guiding principles have framed the lessons learned from the introduction of new vaccines in the Americas.

This is an article from the book Recent Advances in Immunization, 2^nd edition, which covers combination vaccines, vaccine safety, influenza control, adolescent and adult immunization, human papillomavirus vaccines, and approaches to introducing new vaccines.
