How Can We Accelerate Maternal Vaccination Globally?
New maternal vaccines could reduce infant deaths at and after birth, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Work is underway to prepare for new maternal vaccines globally, and the Maternal Immunization Readiness Network for Africa and Asia will support in-country preparation in several low- and middle-income countries. However, the impact of new maternal vaccines will only be realized with supportive policy recommendations and sufficient financing for the development of maternal immunization platforms.
