Nepal’s typhoid conjugate vaccine campaign: a catalyst to reach zero-dose children
Nepal bears one of the most significant global burdens of typhoid, with approximately 82,000 cases resulting in 900 deaths annually.
The Coalition against Typhoid (CaT), based at the Sabin Vaccine Institute (Sabin), works to prevent typhoid and other invasive salmonelloses through research, education, and advocacy. With more than 800 members, the Coalition acts as a catalyst in the global health community to coordinate partnerships, convene decision-makers, and advocate for sustainable solutions, including access to next-generation vaccines and clean water. The Coalition, formed in 2010, is guided by a multi-stakeholder steering committee. It is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
