WHO: Request for nominations Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on immunization
WHO is soliciting proposals for nominations for current vacancies on its Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on immunization. Nominations should be submitted no later than 28 June 2013. In view of the current SAGE membership, nominations are solicited for experts from the African, Eastern Mediterranean, European and Western Pacific regions. Nominations will then be carefully reviewed by the SAGE membership selection panel, which will propose the selection of nominees to the WHO Director-General for appointment.
SAGE is the principal advisory group to WHO for vaccines and immunization. SAGE reports directly to the Director-General and advises WHO on overall global policies and strategies, ranging from vaccine and technology research and development, to delivery of immunization and its linkages with other health interventions. Its remit extends to all vaccine-preventable diseases as well as to all age groups.
Members are acknowledged experts with an outstanding record of achievement in their own field and an understanding of the immunization issues covered by the group. Consideration is given to ensuring appropriate geographic representation and gender balance.
