IPAC - Overview

Mandate (as of May 2017)

– to provide independent and expert advice to the WHO/IVB Director on how to

strengthen immunization service delivery and programme management to:

1. Leverage innovative approaches and technologies that can maximize reach

and equitable access to vaccines up to the last mile, and to

2. Optimize operational efficiency and management of vaccination programmes

at country level.

– Main focus: Guidance documents & tools used in national immunization programs

• Addressing questions of feasibility and acceptability

– No executive, regulatory, or decision-making function on behalf of WHO

Members & Operations

– 11 core members, including chair: Dr Chris Morgan

– Working Groups: Delivery Technologies + Controlled Temperature Chain

– Annual meetings + Teleconferences + Online Discussion Group + Bulletins

- Defining the country use case for Total System Effectiveness

- Country consultations in support of the Vaccine Innovation Prioritization Strategy (VIPS)

II. Optimizing Vaccine Supply - Global immunization financing update

- Improving vaccine access

- EVM 2.0 Progress

III. Controlled Temperature Chain (CTC) - Lessons learned from CTC-HPV Pilot efforts in Uganda + endorsement of new guidelines

- Plans for CTC-OCV Pilot and roll-out : discussion on methodology

- Challenges around Hepatitis B birth dose licensure for CTC

IV. Delivery Technology (DT) - Report on April 2018 Consultation on measles/rubella (MR) micro-array patch (MAP)

2017-2018 Priorities for IPAC

1. Innovations for equitable immunization coverage - CTC

- Delivery Technologies

incl. programmatic aspects & health worker training

- Total Systems Effectiveness + VIPS **shared role with PDVAC** - Needles/Syringe practices 2. Immunization Service Delivery and Programme Management - Integrated health services and integrated programme management

- Second+ Year of Life

- Missed Opportunities for vaccination

- Vaccine Shortages

- Strengthening Community Engagement/Demand

- Implementation (framework for vaccine policy recommendations)

- Equity & Coverage

Programmatic definition of

Controlled Temperature Chain (CTC)

DEFINITION: A specific set of conditions allowing for a vaccine

to be stored and transported outside of the traditional 2° to 8°C cold

chain 1) One excursion, just prior to administration

2) Specifically limited duration (at least 3 days)

3) Ambient temperatures up to 40°C+

4) Full validation =

Tested (for safety & stability)

Licensed

Prequalified

5) Key tools = VVM + Peak Threshold Temperature Indicator

PRIORITIES: Current focus campaigns and special strategies
