By 2026, the EYE Strategy aims to have ended yellow fever epidemics, and to have protected up to a billion people in Africa and the Americas with preventative yellow fever vaccinations. This is allied with a broader vaccination framework: Immunization Agenda 2030. In this episode, WHO Director of the Department of Immunisations, Vaccines and Biologicals, Dr Kate O’Brien sets out the priorities of two strategies, and how they jointly make a global impact.
