World Immunisation Week – celebrated in the last week of April (24-30 April) – aims to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease.
Immunisation saves millions of lives every year and is widely recognised as one of the world’s most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Yet, there are still nearly 20 million un-vaccinated and under-vaccinated children in the world today.
The theme this year is Protected Together: Vaccines Work!, and the campaign will celebrate Vaccine Heroes from around the world – from parents and community members to health workers and innovators – who help ensure we are all protected through the power of vaccines.
Resources and additional information for the campaign can be found on the World Health Organisation website. Health professionals and members of the community can access an array of useful immunisation resources on the HealthyGC website.
