20th April - 27th April 2014
In recent weeks it has been reported that there has been a resurgence of diseases once thought to be almost eliminated.  European Immunisation Week promotes the core message that immunisation of every child is vital to prevent diseases and protect life.  The slogan ‘Prevent. Protect. Immunize’ carries this message across the WHO European Region. The goal of European Immunization Week is to increase vaccination coverage by raising awareness of the importance of immunisation. It is a vital regional initiative, led and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe.
