<p>‘Contained and controlled: The UK’s 20-year vision for antimicrobial resistance’
recognises the important role of vaccines in tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR).</p><p>The
United Kingdom supports the delivery and uptake of vaccines internationally through
UK Aid programmes, including the Global AMR Innovation Fund, the UK Vaccine Network,
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the Global Vaccine Action Plan. Through these programmes
UK Aid supports initiatives to ensure that all low and middle-income countries have
introduced one or more new or underused vaccines by 2020.</p><p>In addition, our expert
advisory committees are considering how vaccines can be better employed to support
the control of AMR in the UK.</p><p>More generally, vaccinations are a key part of
the prevention strategy in the NHS Long Term Plan. To help increase immunisation uptake,
NHS England will undertake a fundamental review of general practitioner vaccinations
and immunisation standards, funding and procurement. This will support the goal of
preventing primary and secondary infections.</p>
