PATH's Vaccine Resource Library features essential resources on vaccines and immunization. |
PATH takes the guesswork out of hunting for reliable immunization information
The World Wide Web can be a valuable source for technical content on just about any topic. But with the wealth of information the Internet provides also comes the headache of sorting through countless sites to find the most credible resources.
For health professionals, policymakers, and parents
With our new and improved Vaccine Resource Library, PATH has done the legwork and tracked down the web’s leading information on global immunization issues and vaccine-preventable diseases. The Vaccine Resource Library is a comprehensive listing of high-quality, scientifically accurate documents for many different audiences—from public health officials in developing countries wondering how best to introduce new vaccines, to parents with questions about immunization schedules. Pooling resources from the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, PATH, and many others, we’ve created a user-friendly site that makes it easy to find just what you are looking for.
The Vaccine Resource Library expands upon activities begun through the PATH Children’s Vaccine Program (CVP), one of the world’s premier initiatives aimed at increasing access to high-quality immunization services. On top of its innovative approaches to immunization delivery in some of the world’s poorest communities, CVP also corralled comprehensive immunization resources on its website for easy online access.
Giving voice to neglected diseases
In addition to resource listings on general immunization topics like injection safety and immunization financing, PATH’s Vaccine Resource Library also provides an in-depth look at many diseases, with a particular focus on those that disproportionately affect some of the world’s poorest populations. Our library provides immediate access to information on rotavirus, Japanese encephalitis, pneumococcus, and more. Links from the library to other PATH websites tell you more about the activities we are undertaking to accelerate the development and availability of these vaccines in developing countries.
PATH will regularly update the library with the latest, most timely documents. We also welcome suggestions from our users. We invite you to browse through the library and let us know (vaccinelibrary@path.org) if you have a resource to recommend!
