World immunisation week, also know as European Immunisation Week (EIW) promotes the core message that immunisation of every child is vital to prevent diseases and protect life. The slogan Prevent. Protect. Immunise. carries this message across the Region.
World immunisation week, celebrated in the last week of April, aims to highlight the collective action needed to protect people from vaccine-preventable diseases.
The goal World Immunisation week is for more children, adults - and their communities - to be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases, allowing them to live happier, and healthier lives.
