Definition: Number of introductions of new or under-utilized vaccines in low- and middle-income countries based on most recent World Bank income status classification at the time of reporting. Year of introduction is based on the year the vaccine was first reported, including cases where a vaccine was introduced and was suspended or not administered.
• Vaccines included in this indicator that are recommended by WHO for use in national immunization schedules in all countries: HepB birth dose, Hib, HPV, IPV2, MCV2, PCV, Rotavirus, Rubella, DTP booster (currently reporting the fourth dose regardless of what age it was administered), and COVID-19 (interim recommendation).
o Only national introductions are included for the indicator reporting
o Except for DTP booster, all other vaccines are included based on WHO recommendations – DTP booster is to be revisited in the future to further align with the WHO recommendations
• Vaccines included in this indicator that are recommended by WHO for use in national immunization schedules in countries in certain geographic region(s), in some high-risk populations, or in immunization programmes with certain characteristics: YF, JE, MenA, multivariate meningitis, HepA, influenza, varicella, and mumps
o Typhoid, cholera, dengue, and rabies are included in the IA2030 Framework for Action as part of the indicator reporting but are not being reported on pending further discussions around indicator revision.
Method of estimation: Step 1) Calculate the indicator value. Count the number of introductions of new or under-utilized vaccines in low- and middle-income countries among WHO Member States.
Limitations: Vaccine may have been introduced earlier than reported but reporting is based on official data from the WHO Member States. Although countries report having introduced select vaccines in national immunization schedules, it does not mean children are vaccinated.

The IA2030 Scorecard visualizes the monitoring and evaluation indicators of the IA2030 Framework for Action endorsed in 2020 by the World Health Assembly, with the support of countries and partners. The scorecard is a collaborative effort led by MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership working in partnership with the IA2030 Working Groups on Monitoring & Evaluation and Communications & Advocacy, with oversight from the IA2030 Secretariat and IA2030 Coordination Group (IACG).
