Core Values

1. Access to vaccines for life-threatening infectious diseases is a human right. Vaccines should be made accessible to ALL populations.
2. Vaccines make a significant contribution to poverty reduction in developing countries by improving public health, extending average life spans, allowing broader opportunities, and ultimately building healthy, self-sustaining societies.
3. Whenever possible, vaccines should be researched and developed for ALL forms and strains of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other infectious diseases, even where commercial return is less than certain.
4. The design, quality, and safety of a vaccine delivery system is considered equally important in making vaccines accessible to ALL populations.
5. The ultimate success of developing a vaccine for ALL populations and ensuring its availability is dependent upon multi stakeholder and multidisciplinary partnerships between the public and private sector.
