World Immunization Week: Let's Take Pledge for a Healthy World


The last of week of April is acknowledged as World Immunization Week. The main motto is to raise awareness of the importance of child and adult immunizations.
As per WHO results vaccines prevent 2 to 3 million deaths annually from diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and measles. In addition to averting illness and deaths, immunizations will lead to limited spread of drug resistance as antibiotic use is reduced.
Rightly quoted by Walter A. Orenstein, MD, president of National Foundation for Infectious Diseases “A key goal of World Immunization Week is to increase global immunization coverage”. Vaccines not only protect individuals but also saves the community from the contagion. Moreover children with some complications who cannot take medicines can be helped through vaccination. High vaccination coverage helps to protect vulnerable individuals, as eliminating transmission prevents exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases. As reported last year, Minnesota witnessed the largest measles outbreak owing to some anti-vaccine activists in an immigrant community. Moreover, Influenza viruses are mutable and recent news in China cites that avian influenza A (H7N9) virus has split into two strains out of which one is resistant to existing vaccine.
With all these news coming to fore, it is quite evident that while on one side people are least aware of the benefits of vaccination, on the other hand the virus is growing more deadly and powerful. We have very less time to waste now. This World Immunization Week, let us take the oath of learning right things about flu, spreading genuine awareness and focusing more on better disease surveillance and prevention.
This July (2nd and 3rd), Vienna will host two days of brainstorming sessions at “4th International Conference on Influenza and Zoonotic Disease” delving deeper into the roots of problem.
