NCIRS is harnessing the collective skills of Australian Regional Immunisation Alliance (ARIA) members to support Ministries of Health and other key partners to strengthen immunisation programs across our region. ARIA is comprised of more than 65 experts and over 10 affiliated organisations, and works collaboratively with other agencies, including the WHO, UNICEF, and Gavi.
This partnership involves efforts to enhance immunisation service delivery, including social, behavioural, and communication science initiatives, to better understand and address factors influencing vaccine uptake. Efforts are also being made to strengthen National Immunisation Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs) to support related policy and planning, including the introduction of new vaccines.
