International Vaccine Access Center

The International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC), founded in 2009, is located within the Department of International Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. IVAC provides global technical leadership on over 15 vaccine preventable diseases and syndromes through eight core competencies. They aim to accelerate equitable and sustainable access to vaccines through the generation, synthesis, and use of evidence to inform decision-making and action. IVAC's goal is for a world where people and communities are free from the health, economic, and social consequences of vaccine preventable diseases.
