Abstract

The Thirty-Seventh Managers’ Meeting of the Caribbean Expanded Program on Immunization was held on 30–31 October 2023 at the Best Western Belize Plus Biltmore Plaza in Belize City, Belize. Sixty-five participants convened from 22 countries and territories of the British West Indies and the Dutch Caribbean. Participants included representatives from the ministries of health, Caribbean Public Health Agency, Caribbean Community, and Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO). The overall objective of the meeting was to analyze and review the achievements and challenges of 2022, with a view to reversing the gains that were lost over the two years since. In addition, the event provided an occasion to share experiences relating to the immunization program and to plan 2024 activities.
