This moment, captured during a recent visit to Zambia, reflects what's at the heart of maternal immunization: healthier beginnings for mothers and babies.

Countries around the world are expanding maternal immunization programs to help protect mothers and their newborns from serious diseases like influenza and RSV during the earliest months of life, but introducing maternal vaccines isn't a simple process. PIVI, a program of @taskforceforglobalhealth, works alongside countries to strengthen the systems that make maternal immunization possible—providing technical assistance, sharing global expertise, and supporting country-led decision-making so maternal immunization programs can succeed today and adapt for tomorrow.
