European Immunisation Week 23rd -29th April 2019

By

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.
