Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: anniversary in 2024, representing six decades of reliable advice supporting Canada's immunization programs. Over the past decade, NACI expanded its mandate to include ethics, equity, feasibility, acceptability, and economic considerations, while adapting its methods to align with international standards and responding to urgent public health needs such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Enhanced collaboration with provinces, territories, Indigenous partners, and global peers has strengthened both the relevance and reach of NACI guidance. With an expanding vaccine landscape, NACI continues to evolve as a trusted national and global resource supporting equitable, evidence-informed immunization policy and practice in Canada.
