What we do

ARIA actively seeks opportunities to leverage the joint strengths and collective experience of its members to support work to reduce the impact of vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) in our region. ARIA also responds to requests for assistance from regional governments, global immunisation partners, non-government organisations and other partners through the ARIA Hub. To request any immunisation-related support, please do not hesitate to contact us.
