World Immunization Week 2022: A healthy world begins with a healthy person. From the birth of a child, we try to protect them from many life-threatening diseases through vaccination. Vaccines act as a shield against diseases like diphtheria, polio, tetanus, tuberculosis etc. In the past two decades, vaccination programs have substantially changed the health landscape of many countries.
To raise awareness about the value of vaccines and immunizations around the world, the World Health Organization celebrates World Immunization Week in the last week of April. It not only draws attention to the need for vaccines, but also appreciates the collective efforts of all communities to combat deadly diseases.
World Immunization Week: Date and Theme
This year, WHO is going to celebrate World Immunization Week from April 24 to April 30, which aims to make people aware of the need for life-saving vaccines that can protect them from many diseases throughout their lives. To commemorate this day, WHO has set the theme of this year’s Immunization Week as “Longer Life for All”.
The theme has been chosen to live happily and healthily in pursuit of a long life. Making it a global campaign, WHO has also given the hashtag #Vaccines4Life. It is a pioneering campaign for vaccines for all, one of UNICEF’s most successful campaigns.
World Immunization Week: Importance amid COVID-19
Many people have lost their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic and are still dying due to new forms being detected. In the meantime, researchers tried their best to develop vaccines to deal with the harsh effects of the dreaded coronavirus. While vaccines were usually given to children, they developed vaccines for adults.
Within a year of the outbreak, various scientists around the world developed vaccines that increased immunity and helped many people fight the disease. During COVID-19, it was revealed that vaccines are an essential way to save lives and win over deadly diseases.
As the common saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Therefore, vaccines played a vital role in preventing infection and keeping many people alive during difficult medical times.
