IFA Interactive Dialogue on Integration of a life-course approach to immunization within NITAGs.
The IFA’s most recent study “Evidence to Action: A review of the National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups” showcases a comprehensive review of NITAGs across 34 countries, highlighting the need for improved evidence-based decision-making in the immunization of older adults.
As a mechanism to respond to the study findings toward strengthening the role of NITAGs to improve vaccine confidence across the life course, the IFA promoted an interactive dialogue among experts in ageing, public health, and immunization.
The “Interactive Dialogue on the Integration of Life-course Approach to Immunization within NITAGs” invited key experts to participate in the translation of evidence by exploring the implications of the study findings in the context of the United Nations Immunization Agenda 2030 and Decade of Healthy Ageing. A moderated panel discussion consolidated and proposed recommendations that informed advocacy strategies for policy change and strengthen the role of NITAGs.
