“The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that immunization prevents between 2-3 million deaths every year.”
April 23 to 30 marks National Immunization Awareness Week (NIAW), an annual event to highlight and recognize the importance of immunization for all ages. Occurring at the same time as World Immunization Week, this year’s event will see many organizations in Canada and around the world participate in international strategies to raise awareness about the important role of vaccines.
