WHO Global Vaccine Action Plan

The WHO Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) is a worldwide strategy aimed at ensuring all people have access to vaccines that prevent serious diseases. Launched in 2012, its goal is to increase vaccination coverage, protect communities, and achieve near-universal immunization by 2020. The plan emphasizes strengthening health systems, improving vaccine delivery, and addressing disparities in access. By doing so, it helps reduce illness, disability, and death from preventable diseases globally, ultimately working toward a healthier world where everyone is protected by vaccines, regardless of where they live.
