European Immunization Week (EIW) promotes
the core message that immunization is vital to prevent diseases and protect
life. The slogan – Prevent. Protect. Immunize. – carries this message across
the Region.
The goal of EIW is to increase
vaccination coverage by raising awareness of the importance of immunization
among parents and caregivers, health care professionals, policy and
decision-makers, and the media.
