The Regional Immunization Technical Advisory Group (RITAG), the principal advisory group to the WHO Regional Office for Africa, met at the WHO Regional Office in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, on 14–16 November 2019. A key aim of the meeting was to review progress towards the objectives set out in the Regional Strategic Plan for Immunization, with sessions dedicated to polio, measles and rubella, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, malaria, yellow fever, Ebola, vaccination demand promotion, and pooled procurement in middle-income countries and small island developing states. A second key aim was to discuss the proposed approach for developing a successor regional immunization strategy, based on the global Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030).
