Spotlight: World Immunization Week
Vaccines are one of humanity's greatest achievement.
In the last 50 years alone, they’ve saved nearly 154 million lives – that’s more than 3 million lives a year or six people every minute for five decades.
Vaccines, along with the global drives to ensure everyone receives them, are known as the Essential Programme on Immunization.
50 years ago, the world launched EPI, bringing life-saving vaccines to children everywhere. Many things have changed in 50 years, but our goal is the same – to ensure every child, everywhere has access to vaccines.
