24 to 30 April is World Immunization Week and National Infant Immunization Week

"World Immunization Week, celebrated in the last week of April, aims to highlight the collective action needed and to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease."
"The ultimate goal of World Immunization Week is for more people – and their communities –
to be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases."
National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is a yearly observance highlighting the importance of protecting children two years and younger from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs).
"This year, in particular, it’s critical to ensure that families stay on track for children’s routine checkups and
recommended vaccinations following disruptions from COVID-19."
"A CDC report released in May 2020 found a troubling drop in routine childhood vaccination as a result of families staying at home. CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that children stay on track with their well-child appointments and routine vaccinations. On-time vaccination is critical to provide protection against potentially life-threatening diseases."

From Rotary International: "We believe in the pursuit of a long life well lived."
"COVID-19 threatens to derail the progress the world has made in vaccinating children
against dangerous diseases like measles and polio.
Let’s remember we must work together to protect children from these preventable diseases."
