World Vision International is active in the collective movement towards 2030 Immunization Targets and the “Big Catch-Up.” Reaching Zero-Dose Children is a central pillar of our work in health and with partners. Together, we must ensure equitable vaccination for the most vulnerable children, no matter where they are.

This requires greater investment in a strong and competent health workforce to deliver vaccines, as part of strong community health systems. Civil Society Organizations and Community Health Workers must be engaged to help extend immunization to the last mile. Community Health Workers are best placed to reach last-mile communities with essential health services, and there is much evidence to support their participation in vaccine demand creation and administration. Solutions are ready but financing must be mobilized to enact them.
