IMMUNIZATION AND PREVENTION: A LIFE-COURSE APPROACH FOR A HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE AGEING POPULATION

How can a life-course approach to immunization contribute to a healthy and productive population? With the number of people aged 65 or older expected to triple to 1.5 billion by 2050, this is an increasing priority for policymakers and an issue that requires urgent progress.

On the margins of WHA 70, IFPMA brought together industry leaders, senior policymakers, and representations from the diplomatic community, as well as key global health stakeholders to discuss immunization and prevention.

Speakers:
• Dr John Beard, Director Ageing and Life Course Dept, World Health Organization: The challenge of healthcare for an ageing population and the need for action
• Baroness Sally Greengross, Co-President, International Longevity Centre: Changing societies and developing the right policies to support an ageing population
