In May 2012, the Sixty-fifth World Health Assembly endorsed the Global Vaccine Action Plan in resolution WHA65.17 as the operational framework for implementation of the vision of the Decade of Vaccines 2011–2020.
An Eastern Mediterranean vaccine action plan 2016–2020, was subsequently developed and was endorsed in October 2015 by the Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean in resolution EM/RC62/R.1 as a framework for implementation of the GVAP in countries of the Region. The regional vaccine action plan defines strategic objectives and priority actions for immunization programmes to guide efforts to prevent and control vaccine-preventable diseases from 2016 to 2020 and beyond. It takes into account the specific needs of Member States in the Region and the challenges facing these countries.
