Global Atlas Draft - Vaccines 4 Life

Global Atlas on Adult Vaccination (GAAV)

The Global Atlas on Adult Vaccination (GAAV) responds to the urgency for greater policy attention to adult vaccination to support the uptake of one of the most effective public health interventions of our time in saving lives and maintaining and improving function. The GAAV combines resources from across partners and stakeholder groups to facilitate dialogue between stakeholders while providing multidisciplinary, evidence-based policy analysis to support advocacy efforts towards a life course approach to vaccination.

Ultimately, the GAAV aims to support actions towards influencing policy to improve adult vaccination programs, infrastructure, data and uptake. Resources coalesced around key policy issues in the GAAV can be built upon by members and serve as evidence that underpins advocacy strategies and actions to influence adult vaccination policy and good practice at the country level and across regions.

The GAAV website includes several key features. Criteria are presented and can be selected from the top bar. Upon selecting a criterion, subcriteria become viewable. Clicking on a subcriterion displays the color ranking for the respective country, along with a brief description of how the criterion has or has not been met and any relevant jurisdictional details. Additionally, there is an option to download the full report card, which includes descriptions of the findings for each sub-criterion.

1. Immunization¹for older adults is included in national aged care strategies.

2. The National Immunization Programme/Plan (NIP) specifies older adults in vaccination schedules.

3. National advisory committees on immunization (e.g., NITAGs) include expertise on ageing, geriatrics, internal medicine and/or adult vaccination, and a life course approach to immunization is included within decision-making processes and recommendations, with reference to key performance indicators and immunization rate targets specific to older adults.
