World Immunization Week 2019
World Immunization Week will be celebrated both globally and regionally from 24 to 30 April 2019, using the slogan “Protected Together: Vaccines Work!” to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against vaccine-preventable diseases.
Why immunization is important
In addition to its positive impact on child health, when immunization rates are high, we know the wider community is protected. Expanding access to immunization is vital to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s triple-billion goals.
