7 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, web-based 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. Projected introduction dates for GAVI countries are taken from the most recent publicly available AVI Strategic Demand Forecast. For non-gavi countries, the World Health Organization and a variety of other sources are used. If you have run a Vaccine Experience Custom Report and used the "Historical" option, the GAVI eligibility status reflected will be the most recent status within the time window you selected. Information on a particular country s GAVI application status or projected introduction dates may be sensititve 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. Sources: GAVI Eligibility Status Demographic and Disease Burden Table Population (thousands) UN Population Division.

10 Selected Key Words: Any definitions not provided below can be found in the Glossary located in the Help section in VIMS 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/approved with 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 clarifications: 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 fulfil specific or significant application requirements. Missing requirements must be provided in a subsequent round to complement the original application. Conditional approvals will be valid for 12 months. If the conditions are not met within one year of 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. Non-GAVI Planning Introduction: A country which is not eligible for GAVI support has indicated plans to introduce the vaccine into its national immunization program, and has taken steps to initiate its program, such as contacting the vaccine manufacturer. 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. Vaccine Licensed for Use in Country: At least one pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is licensed for use in children by the national vaccine regulatory agency in this country.
