improve immunization coverage for migrants and forcibly displaced persons across the world.
In 2019, IOM carried out vaccination activities in
more than 74 countries, routinely, as part of national mass vaccination campaigns or in response to outbreaks. IOM provides vaccinations either directly or through reliable external providers. The Organization’s vaccination efforts span three major areas of focus:
global vaccine procurement and introduction of new vaccines
improving vaccine coverage and equitable access for migrants and people in crisis
strengthening national immunization systems
Depending on contexts, in 2019, IOM performed immunizations
against more than 20 vaccine-preventable diseases: cholera, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus, influenza, Japanese encephalitis, measles, meningitis, mumps, pertussis, pneumococcal infection, polio, rotavirus, rubella, tetanus, tuberculosis, varicella and yellow fever.
