Equity in Immunization

Equity in immunization means ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background, location, or socioeconomic status, have equal access to vaccines. It aims to eliminate disparities so vulnerable or hard-to-reach populations, such as those in remote areas or facing financial or social barriers, can be protected from preventable diseases. Achieving equity helps create healthier communities by making sure that no one is left behind in receiving life-saving immunizations, ultimately reducing health inequalities and promoting fairness in public health.
