World Immunization Week: Vaccines Provide Everyone a Chance at a Long, Fulfilling Life
 
 
The International Vaccine Access Center looks forward to celebrating the value of vaccines during World Immunization Week. The value extends beyond immediate health benefits of protecting loved ones from illness. Vaccines strengthen economies, access to care, and health for people. We work with partners to achieve the vision of a world free from adverse health, economic, and social consequences of vaccine-preventable diseases.

- Dr. William Moss, Executive Director at IVAC
 
 
World Immunization Week 2022, April 25-29, offers an unprecedented opportunity to build public trust in the value of all vaccines and help build long-term support for immunization. Our toolkit provides messaging for immunization advocates on the vital role that vaccines play. Use this toolkit to share how vaccines help lead to a #LongLifeForAll.

Join us in promoting the message that #LongLIfeForAll and #WorldImmunizationWeek to bring us closer by sharing these social media messages on the value of vaccines.
