World Immunisation Week 2022

World Immunisation Week 2022: 24 – 30 April

 

World Immunisation 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.

Immunisation is a global health and development success story, saving millions of lives every year. Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defences to build protection. When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds.

We now have vaccines to prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, helping people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. Immunisation currently prevents 2–3 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza, and measles.

For all vaccination bookings, please book online, or for further information or concerns give us a call.
