April 22 to 30 marks National Immunization Awareness Week (NIAW), an annual event highlighting and recognizing immunization's importance for all ages. NIAW coincides with World Immunization Week 2024 which is celebrating 50 years of the World Health Organization’s Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI).
This collaborative effort is estimated to have saved over 150 million lives in the past 50 years and has nearly eradicated smallpox and polio.
