AAP and the national pediatric societies of Indonesia and Nigeria have partnered with support from the CDC to nurture the unique role of in-country pediatricians and their pediatric societies to influence national immunization systems. By transforming clinical skills into advocacy skills focused on root problem identification and organizational capacity building, pediatricians can improve national immunization system outcomes.
