Improve access to sustainable immunization services
Expand the use of all existing safe and cost-effective vaccines, and promote delivery of other appropriate interventions at immunization contacts
Support the national and international accelerated disease control targets for vaccine-preventable diseases
Accelerate the development and introduction of new vaccines and technologies
Accelerate R&D efforts for vaccines needed primarily in developing countries
Make immunization coverage a centerpiece in international development efforts
