50 years of immunisation in Africa @BMJGH article reflects on big wins & unfinished business Unequal access Vaccine hesitancy Urgent need for innovation & investment Let’s #ImmunizeEveryChild Read more gh.bmj.com/content/10/5/e… #IA2030 #VaccinesWork #Africa #UHC #HealthEquity

Africa’s future in global health depends on research rooted in local realities & led by African scientists. In a recent PAMJ supplement, we reflect on 50 years of immunisation progress, and what must come next. #GlobalHealth #vaccineswork panafrican-med-journal.com/content/series…

We don’t just need new health interventions, we need better implementation of what already works In Africa, embedding #ImplementationScience in immunisation & health systems is a game-changer Our latest piece in PAMJ lays out how #vaccineswork panafrican-med-journal.com/content/series…

Peer learning is a powerful but underused tool to tackle immunisation inequities and boost resilience. We propose a cross-context model for knowledge exchange to accelerate progress toward #IA2030. #VaccinesWork #PeerLearning #ImplementationScience thelancet.com/journals/lance…

To reach #IA2030 goals, we must track not just what is achieved, but how. Measuring implementation outcomes (e.g. fidelity, adoption, cost, sustainment) is key to fixing what’s not working. #VaccinesWork #ImplementationScience #ImplementationResearch thelancet.com/journals/lance…

The #RITAG2025 and Immunization Stakeholders’ Meeting is underway today in Kintélé 🇨🇬. WHO African Region, governments and partners are aligning strategies to strengthen immunization systems, track progress on #IA2030, and protect every community. #VaccinesWork

Les vaccins représentent une protection, un espoir et une promesse pour l'avenir. Le Dr CharlesShey Wiysonge de l'OMS Afrique appelle à une action renforcée pour maintenir les acquis de la vaccination et protéger chaque enfant. #LesVaccinsSontEfficaces #RITAG2025

Measles still kills thousands of children in Africa each year, despite an effective vaccine. Can implementation research close the gap between innovation and impact? Read our commentary at panafrican-med-journal.com/content/series… #VaccinesWork #Measles #GlobalHealth

Vaccines vs AMR? Absolutely Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in South Africa cut drug-resistant infections by up to 96% panafrican-med-journal.com/content/series… PCVs = disease prevention + AMR control = high-impact investment Let’s rethink how we value vaccines. #vaccineswork #AMR

Rubella vaccine introduction across Africa is working, but gaps remain We found substantial reductions in #rubella cases post-introduction, yet 1/3 of countries still haven’t introduced RCVs & report most of the cases panafrican-med-journal.com/content/series… Time to close the gap #VaccinesWork

In 2024, 89% of infants received at least one dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP) vaccine, and 85% completed all three doses. Global demand for childhood immunization is strong according to new data from WHO and UNICEF 🔗bit.ly/4kFzSGW
