The Ministry of Public Health is participating in marking World Immunization Week, from April 24 to 30, reaffirming the pivotal role of vaccination in protecting public health and preventing disease.

This year's World Immunization Week theme, “For every generation, vaccines work, " highlights the importance of ensuring access to vaccines and promoting their use to protect all age groups — children, adults, pregnant women, and the elderly — from vaccine‑preventable diseases, thereby contributing to healthier and safer communities.

On this occasion, the Ministry of Public Health is organising several specialised training activities to develop and enhance the capacity of health facilities to deliver and expand essential immunisation services, with a focus on improving accessibility for all members of society across age groups. National awareness campaigns will also be launched to raise community awareness of the importance of vaccination and its vital role in preventing serious communicable diseases.
