World Immunisation Week 

Starting from childhood, vaccines for common diseases like measles, diarrheal diseases and pneumonia allow us to go to school, play with friends and make memories with loved ones. As we grow up, other vaccines like those that protect against the flu or cervical cancer keep people healthy so that they can go to work, travel, and spend more time with the people they love. Everyone deserves a chance to live a healthy, fulfilling life – no matter who they are or where they live.

 Vaccines can create a world where no one dies from preventable diseases. When everyone has access to the vaccines they need, people can have peace of mind knowing they are better protected from disease and can do more of the things that bring them joy.

To find out more about vaccines and the protection that they give, please view this short video from the World Health Organization.
