World Immunization Day is celebrated every year on 10 November.
It play a critical role in promoting the vital importance of immunization and in advocating for universal access to life-saving vaccines.
World Immunization Day was first introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012 as part of the Global Vaccine Safety Initiative.
Its main aim is to raise awareness about the importance of vaccination in preventing deadly infectious diseases, protecting children, and reducing health inequalities globally.
Vaccines have helped to eradicate or reduce the prevalence of diseases that once caused widespread suffering and death, including smallpox and polio.
Immunization against diseases like measles, polio, tetanus, hepatitis B, and diphtheria has prevented millions of deaths each year.
