The Canadian International Immunization Initiative (CIII) and the Global Alliance on Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) provide a complementary approach to immunization. CIII continues to focus on basic childhood immunization and systems strengthening, while GAVI provides vaccines for other diseases such as hepatitis B that make up a substantial burden of disease in developing countries.
