The Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean is preparing to celebrate the third Regional Vaccination Week during the week of 24 – 30 April 2012, coinciding with the first World Immunization Week. Vaccination Week is an annual initiative celebrating and promoting immunization through innovative and combined solutions, in which advocacy, education and communication activities are central. Vaccination Week intends to increase awareness and vaccine utilization, mobilize political commitment and resources, and expand immunization services to the most marginalized and difficult-to-reach populations.
The third Vaccination Week in the Eastern Mediterranean will be launched under the theme of “reaching every community”, demonstrating the Region’s vision and key strategy in addressing the increasing priorities of immunization programmes. A variety of activities have been proposed, ranging from workshops, seminars, media campaigns and round tables, to celebrations, social mobilization, and vaccination outreach.
