"The 2010 National Vaccine Plan provides strategic direction and coordination for the nation's immunization program. The scope of the Plan is broad, describes the end-to-end activities of the National Vaccine Program, and addresses the range of vaccine and vaccine-related issues for the United States (U.S.) and global communities. A ten-year horizon was set for the Plan to align with Healthy People 2020 goals. The Plan is built around five broad goals: Goal 1: Develop new and improved vaccines. Goal 2: Enhance the vaccine safety system. Goal 3: Support informed vaccine decision-making. Goal 4: Ensure a stable supply of, access to, and better use of recommended vaccines in the United States. Goal 5: Increase global prevention of death and disease through safe and effective vaccination."
