It uses information stored in the Vaccine Information Management System (VIMS) online database maintained by IVAC at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and supported by the GAVI Alliance. The images and text below describe: how many countries have introduced each vaccine or plan to in the future; global and GAVI rates of coverage and access; historical trends of the rate of introduction globally; and the introduction status of every country individually. The report concludes with a more detailed description of VIMS and its potential uses with an example of a VIMS country report. 3 METHODS This report has been generated by the Vaccine Information Management System (VIMS) database developed and maintained at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for use by the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) and its affiliated projects and partners. VIMS provides a centralized, webbased warehouse for key information related to IVAC’s work. Information was gathered from internationally recognized sources, such as UNICEF, World Health Organization, vaccine manufacturers, ministries of health and news media. Current Global and GAVI Introduction Statuses for Hib, Pneumococcal Conjugate and Rotavirus Vaccines • Data on historical years of vaccine introduction are gathered from the WHO. Information on current introduction status are gathered from internationally recognized sources, such as UNICEF, WHO, vaccine manufacturers, ministries of health and news media. Forecasted introduction dates are from AVI Strategic Demand Forecast v4.0 and WHO updates. For more information on sources, see data inside VIMS or email [email protected]. Present Coverage • Coverage in each country was calculated with the following formula: Introduction Value*Surviving Infants*(DTP3 Coverage Rate). The country receives an Introduction Value of 1 if the vaccine has been universally or regionally introduced into the Routine Immunization Program. The country receives an Introduction Value of 0 if the vaccine has NOT been introduced into the Routine Immunization Program. Present Access • Access in each country was calculated with the following formula: Introduction Value*Surviving Infants. The country receives an Introduction Value of 1 if the vaccine has been universally or regionally introduced into the Routine Immunization Program. The country receives an Introduction Value of 0 if the vaccine has NOT been introduced into the Routine Immunization Program. Note on Regional Introduction Coverage and Access Calculations • To calculate coverage or access in countries that have introduced regionally, the number of surviving infants in the region that introduced the vaccine was estimated by multiplying the total number of surviving infants in the country by the proportion of the total population that live in the regions that introduced the vaccine. Vaccine introduction by income level • Countries were classified using 2011 World Bank income classifications. Year of introduction or forecasted introduction was determined through WHO reports, news media and AVI Strategic Demand Forecast v4.0. Table 1. Introduction Status by Vaccine for All Countries • This table uses WHO and GAVI Alliance information, as well as corroborated media reports, to list the status and date of introduction of Hib, Pneumococcal Conjugate and Rotavirus Vaccine for each country. Projected introduction dates for GAVI countries are taken from the most recent publicly available AVI Strategic Demand Forecast and WHO information. For non-GAVI countries, the World Health Organization and a variety of other sources are used. Information on a particular country’s GAVI application status or projected introduction dates may be sensitive and is not for public circulation without prior consent from VIMS personnel. If data is used in a presentation, it should include a statement indicating this. 4 Global Hib Vaccine Introduction by Year 200 180 160 Number of Countries 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 52% of the world’s infants (66.6 million) are not likely to receive Hib vaccine this year because either their country has not yet introduced it, or they are not receiving routine immunizations (measured by DTP3 coverage). 45% of the world’s infants (57.3 million) live in countries or regions that have not yet introduced Hib vaccine into their National Immunization Program.

Public Health and the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC). This report has been generated by the Vaccine Information Management System (VIMS) database developed and maintained at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for use by the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) and its affiliated projects and partners. VIMS provides a centralized, web-based warehouse for key information related to work in vaccine access that all interested parties can use. Information was gathered from internationally recognized sources, such as UNICEF, World Health Organization, vaccine manufacturers, ministries of health and news media. Please note that all forecasted dates in this report rest on assumptions and actual dates may vary. Vaccine introduction dates do not imply an obligation by GAVI to support coverage. All information, methodologies and sources are available in the VIMS database. This report can be found at: http://www.jhsph.edu/ivac/index.html. The full report with forecast data and a PowerPoint presentation with graphics can be found in the VIMS database.

Children with Access: the number of children (based on surviving infants 2010) who live in a country that has introduced the vaccine into the national immunization program. This does not include countries with widespread market use or high-risk programs. For regional introductions, those regions that have introduced may be included and the regions which have not introduced excluded. Covered Children: the number of children (based on surviving infants of 2010) who are likely to receive the vaccination based upon the coverage rates of countries who have introduced. The WHO/UNICEF best estimate DTP3 vaccination coverage rate is used as a proxy for Hib, Pneumo and Rotavirus rates. Introduced into national immunization program: the vaccine has been incorporated into the national government’s immunization program, either for all children, an at-risk subset, or for a regional program and it may include programs that are being phased in over time. This status can apply to any country, regardless of GAVI eligibility. Regional: local government immunization programs, but the national government has not included the vaccine in its immunization program. Widespread coverage through private market: most (over half) of the target population is receiving the vaccine through private market use. Risk: program for this vaccine only covers children in specific high risk groups—this may include children with health conditions, those of vulnerable socioeconomic statuses or ethnic groups, or those living in regions of high risk. GAVI approved/clarification: the country’s application to GAVI for New and Underused Vaccines Support (NVS) financing for this vaccine has been approved or approved with clarifications. Approved: the application meets all the criteria and is approved for GAVI support. Approved with clarification: the application lacks specific pieces of data, which must be provided generally within a month. Data must be received before the application is considered officially approved for GAVI Support. GAVI conditional approval to introduce: the application to GAVI for New and Underused Vaccines Support (NVS) for this vaccine does not fulfill specific or significant application requirements. Missing requirements must be provided in a subsequent round to complement the original application. If the conditions are not met within the given timeframe after the first submission, re-submission of a new application is required. GAVI Resubmission: the New and Underused Vaccines Support (NVS) application for this vaccine is incomplete and a full application should be submitted in a future round. GAVI application submitted under review: the country has submitted a New and Underused Vaccines Support (NVS) application for this vaccine and is awaiting GAVI evaluation. GAVI plan to apply: country has made a public statement (through government or other recommending body on vaccines) that they plan to introduce the vaccine and apply for GAVI New and Underused Vaccines Support (NVS), but has not yet submitted an application. 33 Non-GAVI Planning Introduction: a country that is not eligible for GAVI support has plans to introduce the vaccine into its national immunization program, and has taken steps to initiate its program, such as contacting the vaccine manufacturer. OR A country that is eligible for GAVI support and plans to introduce without it. No Decision: the country has not indicated a firm decision to introduce the vaccine into its national immunization program or to apply for GAVI New and Underused Vaccines Support (NVS) for the vaccine. Unknown: sources differ or are unclear on whether this country has a national program or not. 34 APPENDIX VIMS was conceived at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health as a collaborative project between the Hib Initiative, PneumoADIP and the GAVI Alliance. It provides a centralized, web-based warehouse for key information related to the vaccine access. This includes data on the global uptake of Hib, Pneumococcal, Rotavirus and Hep B vaccines; demographic indicators; and tools for strategic social mapping of key vaccine policy stakeholders and decision makers. The data contained in VIMS can be accessed using the search functions within each tab, or downloaded via the report generation functions. The data are continuously updated as information is received, so as to permit real time reporting. VIMS has been under development since 2008 and is now in full operational use by the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC). Bringing together inputs from a range of sources into one secure location, we believe this tool could be of great use to the global vaccine community and are rolling it out to key partners. Support and funding for VIMS is provided by the GAVI Alliance, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC). Use of VIMS: Using VIMS, stakeholders can generate their own custom reports based on any combination of countries, demographic data, and vaccine information, or print out specific country reports as needed. Due to the sensitive nature of some of the information in VIMS, only authorized parties are given access to the system. If you have further questions or would like to learn how to obtain a user ID for access to VIMS, please contact the VIMS team at [email protected]. Any data on projected introduction dates should not be reproduced or disseminated without prior consent from VIMS personnel. If data is used in a presentation, please cite VIMS accordingly: Source: IVAC, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
