A healthier Canada starts with adult vaccination

We advocate for equitable, publicly funded access to NACI recommended adult vaccines — supporting healthier communities and a stronger economy.

Who we are

The Adult Vaccine Alliance (AVA) is a national coalition of healthcare professionals, public health leaders, and industry partners committed to advocating for equitable access to adult immunization across Canada. Through coordinated advocacy and collaboration, AVA works to reduce preventable disease, strengthen health systems, and protect communities.


How we drive change

▶ Driving Awareness

Advance recognition of adult vaccines as essential to health system resilience.

Foster cross-sector partnerships to close gaps in access and coverage nationwide.

► Strategic Collaboration
▶ Aiding Advocacy

Strengthen adult immunization frameworks through equitable funding and strategic policy development.


The value of adult vaccines

In 2024, AVA commissioned an independent study by IQVIA that found improving access to recommended adult vaccines leads to better health outcomes and significant savings across Canada’s healthcare system. The report found adult vaccines resulted in:

341%

return for every

$1 invested

+2.5B
