The last week of April simultaneously marks the World Health Organisation’s World Immunisation Week and the African Vaccination Week. It is a week of hope and determination as focus shifts to a health intervention whose public health impact is hailed to be second only to clean water.
This year’s themes are ‘Protected together, #Vaccines Work’ and ‘Vaccines work, Do your part!’. They embody the core message of the overarching slogan of the African Vaccination week which is ‘Vaccinated communities, Healthy communities’.
