Access to vaccination

How to improve the vaccination pathways?

Challenge { Access to vaccination }

How to improve the vaccination pathways?





According to the World Health Organization (WHO), immunization is undoubtedly one of the most effective and cost-effective interventions to protect oneself and others from infectious diseases (1). It has eradicated smallpox and now prevents 2 to 3 million deaths per year from diseases such as measles, diphtheria, pertussis, pneumonia, poliomyelitis, cervical cancer, hepatitis B, rotavirus diarrhea, rubella and tetanus (2). As an essential component of the fundamental right to health, vaccination is a primary healthcare intervention for which responsibility is shared by individuals, groups and governments (3).


However, while the benefits of immunization are available to an increasing number of individuals, large gaps in coverage persist, not only between countries but also within their territories (1). Indeed, 1.5 million deaths per year worldwide are attributable to vaccine-preventable diseases (2).


According to the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on immunization, the context (geographical, historical, sociocultural, organizational, political…), individual and group beliefs, and the specific characteristics of each vaccine influence immunization-related behaviors (4). These factors also play a crucial role in the vaccination pathway of individuals throughout their lives (5).


Vaccine-preventable diseases are now on the rise in France and around the world (6), alarming the World Health Organization (WHO), regional and local stakeholders (1). In France, Agnes Buzyn, Minister of Solidarity and Health, has made this issue a priority (7).


By launching this challenge, JOGL joins the ongoing global dynamic and efforts to address the contemporary challenges of vaccination by proposing an inclusive and collaborative approach to improve the vaccination pathways.

In programs, all contributions will be reviewed by a pool of experts and rewarded during a special Award Ceremony by the renowned members of our Committee for Science, Ethics and Impact. This is a great opportunity to get official recognition for your work and impact.








REWARDS


Prizes


Awarded by the Committee for Ethics, Science and Impact (CESI) on the 18th of December, prizes are based on the grades and comments from independent evaluators.


The criterias are co-elaborated by JOGL and the CESI and validated by the CESI.


The projects are first ranked based on the evaluation made by independant evaluator during the first two weeks of December. The CESI then examines comments and takes them into account to decide on the final ranking.


The best projects of the challenge win, as ranked by the CESI.


One JOGL Community prize


Awarded by JOGL on the 18th of December, the JOGL Community prize is based on the numbers of claps on the project page. Only the most claped project wins.


One Grand Prize


Awarded by the Committee for Ethics, Science and Impact the Grand Prize is attributed to one project based on the result of a vote by the members of the CESI on the 18th of December 2019 (independantly form the evaluations).
