World Immunization Week, April 24-30, marks the importance of lifesaving vaccines that protect people of all ages against disease and disability. This year’s World Immunization Week theme is "Humanly Possible," emphasizing the profound success of global vaccination over the past 50 years—one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Vaccines have led to the eradication of smallpox and a dramatic reduction in child mortality, but continued investments in global immunization are necessary to ensure all people, especially children, are protected from preventable diseases.

Every $1 invested in vaccination generates more than $54 in economic benefits. Investing in vaccination isn't just the right thing to do—it's the smart thing to do. #VaccinesWork #WorldImmunizationWeek
