Abstract: This paper reports the results of a global survey on the topic of national immunization policy development. Countries reported on actors involved, sources of evidence consulted, challenges faced and desired changes in their immunization policy development processes. Most countries had established or would like to establish a national Immunization Technical Advisory Group (ITAG). Countries reported using many sources of information; the most valued being those from the World Health Organization (WHO). Common challenges of immunization policy development reported include funding, capturing the epidemiology of disease and coordination of government and stakeholders.
