The World Coalition on Adult Vaccination is made up of non-governmental organizations and academia, clinicians, [[public health|public health]] and scientific specialists and associations worldwide collaborating on a common agenda around a life course approach to [[vaccines|vaccination]], with special attention to later life.((International Federation on Ageing. (2022). //About the Coalition.// Vaccines4Life. https://web.archive.org/web/20220715204550/https://www.vaccines4life.com/world-coalition-on-adult-vaccination/about-the-coalition/)) 

Through this coalition, V4L "calls on all champions and advocates representing constituents in the fields of [[health|health]], ageing, chronic disease, public health, [[social justice]], inter-generational solidarity, among many others, to embrace the narrative of a life course approach to vaccination." The goal is to "[m]obilize experts and their networks to help influence and shape policies to improve the uptake rates of adult vaccinations through prioritizing [[vaccine-preventable diseases|prevention]], improving access, and reducing [[vaccine equity|inequity]]."
