For more than 140 years, GSK has pioneered novel research methods and technologies to help protect people from infectious diseases.

Our vaccines portfolio of more than 20 marketed vaccines is the broadest in the industry, helping to protect people throughout their lives.

We believe prevention, at scale and for impact, is the best health investment for society, patients, and the economy. Vaccine-preventable diseases are a significant burden on society and healthcare systems;

approximately $1 trillion in productivity is lost each year due to preventable conditions. This includes the impact from the 330,000 older adults hospitalized globally each year with RSV, the approximately 1 in 3 people who will develop shingles in their lifetime and the 3-11% of people infected with seasonal influenza each year.

GSK’s US vaccines business is organized into local ecosystem teams, designed to support the unique needs of the customer base in the given geography.

In a local ecosystem commercial model, there are multiple customer-facing roles, each with unique customers / call points, but all dependent upon a high

degree of collaboration.

The Immunization Specialist, or IS , is pivotal in most ecosystems, responsible for engaging health care providers (HCPs) to drive uptake of GSK vaccines.

The role of the Immunization Specialist is to educate HCPs on both disease state and the approved GSK vaccine solutions.

The IS must possess strong customer engagement skills, knowledge of GSK vaccines and competitor vaccines, to be able to present a GSK vaccines product and portfolio value proposition.

The IS must also collaborate closely within the ecosystem team, including the vaccine ecosystem lead (VEL), vaccine key account lead (VKAL), the vaccine account executive (VAE), and the retail account executive (RAE) roles.
