Measles vaccines: WHO position paper
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In accordance with its mandate to provide guidance to Member States on health policy matters, WHO issues a series of regularly updated position papers on vaccines and combinations of vaccines against diseases that have an international impact on public health. These papers, which are concerned primarily with the use of vaccines in large-scale immunization programmes, summarize essential background information on diseases and vaccines, and conclude with the current WHO position concerning their use in the global context. The papers have been reviewed by a number of experts within and outside WHO, and since 2006 have been reviewed and endorsed by WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on immunization. The position papers are designed for use mainly by national public health officials and managers of immunization programmes. However, they may also be of interest to international funding agencies, the vaccine manufacturing industry, the medical community, scientific media and the public.
