Every year, the last week of April, i.e., from 24th to 30th, World Immunization Week is acknowledged to raise awareness about various immunity vaccines to prevent infectious disease and agents worldwide by World Health Organization.
This year the theme World Health Organization is working around to entrust more solidarity and trust in vaccines to get more close to having a healthier and infectious-free future.
There are two main issues that WHO wants to campaign for this year’s immunization week:-
- Rumors and misconceptions spread across the world about immunity vaccines not being safe, restricting many parents from getting their children vaccinated.
- There are barriers like lack of knowledge, finance, and availability of vaccines, especially in developing countries for which WHO wants to raise investments.
Under the campaign, they want more partners to join to increase the R&D process and help develop new approaches to immunity vaccines that can bring us closer to protecting the world from life-taking diseases.
COVID-19 has changed the world for new, and now the world is focusing on bringing vaccines to prevent it and making them available for the public in general. These vaccines have shown us a new ray of hope with which we can get back onto doing everything we love to do.
Undoubtedly, it is a crucial situation, and we need to focus on it, but in between, we cannot forget about the routine vaccines, compulsory for children. Many kids and infants had not been able to get their routine vaccines due to the pandemic, increasing the chances of falling sick.
However, countries are working hard to get the infants vaccinated, get them protected from different diseases like measles, pneumonia, etc., and bringing the world closer to leading a healthy lifestyle.
WHO, UNICEF, and various other organizations organize multiple events during the immunization week, in which you can get information about COVID vaccines or any other vaccine for your children.
Individuals, partners, doctors, researchers, etc., across the globe, take part in multiple seminars, events, and sessions conducted throughout the week. They share their experiences and information about vaccines, their importance, etc. You can also be part of these seminars from your home, either by joining their online campaigns or donating to the cause.
Vaccines are the best way to prevent outbreaks, which can be a threat to the whole world. But thanks to advanced technology and vaccine science, which is making it possible for us to survive outbreaks and helping people live a protected and healthy life.
World Health Organization is addressing a special message to bring the world closer to a healthier and prosperous world this immunization week.
So, let’s hope to have strong immunity and healthy life this immunization week!
