This year, World Immunization Week will celebrate 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) – a collaborative initiative aimed at ensuring universal access to life-saving vaccines for everyone, everywhere.  A new landmark study to be published in The Lancet reveals the number of lives saved thanks to global vaccination efforts over the past 50 years. This is the most comprehensive analysis of EPI’s global and regional health impact of vaccination against 14 diseases: diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type B, hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, measles, meningitis A, pertussis, invasive pneumococcal disease, polio, rotavirus, rubella, tetanus, tuberculosis, and yellow fever. WHO, UNICEF, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and The Gates Foundation have launched  'Humanly Possible,' a shared global campaign to mark the profound achievement of EPI and call on leaders to invest in immunization.​  More information can be accessed at a campaign website. 29 April – 10 May  09:00–12:00, 13:00–16:00 and 16:30–18:30 CEST Ninth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) for a WHO instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response – resumed   In December 2021, the World Health Assembly established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
