Credence Management Solutions is seeking a Senior Immunization Technical Advisor. See below for more information on this exciting opportunity and apply to join Credence today!
Note: This is a term-limited position through September 30, 2024
The Senior Immunization Technical Advisor will primarily support the Office of Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition, Child Health, and Immunization Division as a Credence Institutional Support Contractor (ISC).
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s Bureau for Global Health (GH) serves as the agency’s primary source of technical expertise, leadership, and donor coordination for the health sector, including HIV and AIDS, infectious diseases, child and maternal health and nutrition, family planning and reproductive health, and health systems strengthening and reform. GH is responsible for advancing field-relevant, state-of-the-art research and the transfer of new technologies and approaches to field programs. Through its staff, programs and country teams, GH provides critical support to USAID missions and field programs in more than 70 countries.
The MCHN Office serves as the Agency’s technical and policy lead on maternal and newborn health; child survival; immunization; nutrition; and environmental health, with a focus on preventing child and maternal deaths. Cross-cutting activities managed by the Office in support of this goal address private sector partnerships, social and behavior change communication, multilateral partnerships, gender, research, and monitoring and evaluation. The Child Health and Immunization Division (CHI) provides technical and policy leadership, addressing the leading killers of children in the post-neonatal period. This includes treatment of pneumonia, diarrhea, and other major contributors to death, vaccine-preventable diseases, as well as emerging issues.
The world has witnessed an extraordinary 70 percent decline in child mortality over the last 50 years, and a reduction in the burden of child deaths from nearly 12 million in 1990 to 5.2 million in 2019. Maternal deaths are also falling and declines in maternal mortality are currently averaging five percent per year. The COVID-19 pandemic has, however, widened immunity gaps. In 2021, there were 25 million underimmunized children. In 2022, there are increases in vaccine preventable disease outbreaks such as measles, compared to the same period in2021, and there are indications that the disruptions in essential services still persist in 2023 to some extent. Significant work remains in order to increase coverage of high-impact interventions, strengthen the health systems that support these interventions, and address equity gaps that are bottlenecks to ending preventable child and maternal deaths. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an excess mortality of millions of people and disrupted access to essential services including immunization and put tens of millions at risk of contracting vaccine preventable diseases. Efforts to develop, equitably distribute and deliver COVID-19 vaccines are a top priority globally.
The Senior Immunization Technical Advisor will provide technical, policy and programmatic support in routine immunization strengthening and recovery, accelerated disease control and response; and support COVID-19 vaccine rollout and integration with routine immunization. The work will broadly support achievement of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) targets, support use of data, innovation and epidemiological analysis in improving COVID-19 vaccine rollout and integration with immunization.
