[Claudio Schuftan]

From: David Legge <dlegge at phmovement.org>

WHO’s Global Vaccine Action
Plan<http://www.who.int/immunization/global_vaccine_action_plan/en/index.html>will
be reviewed at the Jan 2014 meeting of WHO’s Executive Board and again
in May at the World Health Assembly.

The WHO Secretariat has now posted a report on progress in vaccination (
EB134/13 <http://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/EB134/B134_13-en.pdf>). In
line with resolution
WHA65.17<http://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA65/A65_R17-en.pdf>,
it provides a summary report on the progress made towards the achievement
of the global immunization targets adopted in WHO’s Global Vaccine Action
Plan<http://www.who.int/immunization/global_vaccine_action_plan/en/index.html>and
approved by the Sixty-sixth World Health Assembly and including the
recommendations of the Strategic Advisory Group of
Experts<http://www.who.int/entity/immunization/sage/sage_wg_decade_vaccines/en/index.html>on
immunization, which met in November 2013.

PHM’s WHO Watch project will be at the EB and the WHA and we are presently
preparing comments to be shared with delegates before and during the
meetings.  We would be most grateful for your advice.

PHM is keen to hear from PHM activists and friends who are working in the
vaccine field and view it from the PHM perspective. We are keen to hear
your assessment of the WHO document and suggestions about how it might be
improved.

If you are involved in lobbying your country’s delegates about these issues
we would be keen to hear your line of argument.

Please respond to: hs-watch at phmovement.org.

Warmest greetings

WHO Watch
