World Immunisation Week 2023

This week we commemorate World Immunisation Week, an annual celebration emphasising the need for collective action to safeguard people from vaccine-preventable diseases. The initiative is led by the World Health Organisation in collaboration with partners globally.

This year’s theme is 'The Big Catch-Up' aims to ensure that more people are protected from preventable infectious diseases. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of children to miss out on vaccines, making it essential to restore immunisation coverage to at least 2019 levels and enhance primary healthcare for vaccination delivery.

The ultimate goal is to safeguard more children, adults, and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases, leading to a healthier and happier life.
