On the Road to Universal Immunization: Improving Immunization Equity in Ethiopia

Since 2011, JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. has implemented the Universal Immunization through Improving Family Health Services (UI-FHS) project in Ethiopia. UI-FHS strengthened the routine immunization system to reach un-immunized (zero-dose) and under-immunized children with vaccines. JSI improved equity in immunization service delivery to ensure that all children are reached with high-quality vaccination services.

On Tuesday, November 9, 2021, JSI hosted a virtual event to recognize the achievements of the project over the past 10 years and explore the linkages between the Ethiopia experience and the global immunization agenda. The event included a panel discussion moderated by Lisa Oot (JSI) and featuring Dr. Eric Sarriot (Gavi), Dr. Carolina Danovaro (WHO), and Dr. Ephrem Lemango (UNICEF).
