Shaping Vaccine Policy Through Strategic Support to SAGE

The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) plays a central role in shaping global vaccine policy that shape national immunization strategies worldwide.

MMGH has supported SAGE’s work by translating evidence into clear, actionable recommendations that guide the introduction and use of vaccines across countries and regions.

To date we have supported the policy recommendations on Dengue (2022-23), Pneumoccocal Conjugate Vaccines (2023-25), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (2024) and Typhoid Conjugate Vaccines (2024-25).

As a long-standing technical partner, MMGH supports SAGE and its working groups by coordinating inputs across stakeholders, synthesizing evidence, and facilitating transparent decision-making processes. Our work strengthens the quality and usability of global immunization policy recommendations.
