Cooperative Agreement on Immunization with UNICEF

archived

The purpose of the program is to support the US Government-endorsed Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Global Measles Initiative, and the Global Immunization Vision and Strategy, 2006-2015. UNICEF, in conjunction with CDC, will provide programmatic assistance and vaccines for supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) in priority countries as well as strengthening of routine immunization delivery systems and capacities in developing countries to achieve globally agreed goals for disease eradication, elimination and reduction. UNICEF, in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), has assumed primary responsibility for providing countries with access to high quality, affordable vaccines through UNICEF’s procurement system and distribution networks. These activities are critical to achieving globally agreed goals for disease eradication, elimination and reduction. Additionally this agreement may be used to support activities to address other global health priorities in line with CDC goals.
