Each year, seasonal influenza causes millions of severe illnesses and hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world. Influenza viruses regularly emerge and are often unpredictable. A severe influenza pandemic could kill millions and cripple the global economy. PIVI collaborates with low- and middle-income countries to strengthen their ability to reliably and quickly deliver respiratory virus vaccines across all age groups, saving lives.
Ongoing seasonal influenza vaccination programs reduce the annual disease burden while improving pandemic influenza preparedness for future novel viruses – transforming countries’ health systems and protecting the global community from the spread of a pandemic flu virus, and other emerging health threats.
Take a look at the profile of our featured partner country, Jordan. Did you know Jordan developed a Pandemic Influenza Preparedness assessment plan in 2018, which was helpful to its COVID-19 response in 2021?
