Vaccines of assured quality: a public health priority
The importance of vaccine quality, safety and standards is featured at the Immunization Department's exhibit at this year's World Health Assembly held on 18-22 May 2009. With the slogan Any way you look at it…vaccine quality is critical, the exhibit showcases superimposed images that change as visitors walk by the exhibit. A brochure has also been developed illustrating the Department's work: generating the standards to which vaccines of assured quality and safety must comply; ensuring that all people of the world have access to the full range of quality vaccines; and effectively managing the vaccine safety concerns that can now cross the globe in minutes.
