The Particular Program Complete Immunization (CIM) goals to help Member States in decreasing morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable illnesses (VPDs) by selling technical cooperation and partnerships. This will probably be achieved by means of the implementation of management and elimination methods, finally enhancing the standard of life and life expectancy of people within the Americas.
The Area of the Americas has been a world chief within the elimination and management of VPDs for greater than 40 years, because of the success of the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI).

4. Creating revolutionary and strategic communication approaches to extend public consciousness and belief in vaccines, in addition to enhance entry to immunization companies.
5. Strengthening human sources capacities for immunization applications.
6. Using scientific proof to tell choice making and program supply.
By specializing in these six strains of motion, CIM goals to enhance the effectiveness and attain of immunization applications within the Americas, finally guaranteeing the sustained discount of VPDs and contributing to improved well being outcomes for all people within the area.
