Weekly Epidemiological Record Volume 13, 2018, 93, pp. 153–172

In accordance with its mandate to provide guidance to Member States on health policy matters, WHO issues a series of regularly updated position papers on vaccines and combinations of vaccines against diseases that have an international public health impact. These papers are concerned primarily with the use of vaccines in large-scale immunisation programmes. They summarise essential background information on diseases and vaccines and conclude with the current WHO position on the use of vaccines worldwide.
