🌍✨ This World Immunization Week, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI). Over five decades, global vaccine programs have eradicated smallpox, brought us to the brink of defeating polio, and significantly increased child survival rates. 💉 From its inception in 1974, the EPI has evolved from targeting six childhood illnesses to now including 13 universally recommended vaccines, extending throughout the life course under the Essential Programme on Immunization. This transformation reflects the commitment to protecting not just children but everyone, everywhere. 🔍 However, recent challenges have threatened this progress. Despite vaccinating over 4 million more children in 2022 than in 2021, 20 million children missed out on crucial vaccinations due to conflicts, economic downturns, and rising vaccine hesitancy, leading to outbreaks of diseases like diphtheria and measles. We have come so far, yet our journey is not complete. 🌐 World Immunization Week aims to: -Ensure vaccines are a top priority for governments worldwide. -Integrate vaccinations into health care planning and investment at all stages of life. -Guarantee robust funding and resources for vaccination programs. -Boost research and innovation to improve vaccine access and support. -Advocate for the life-saving impact of vaccinations locally and globally. Together, we can achieve 'Humanly Possible: Immunization for All'. 🔗Want to read more about the EPI? Click here: https://lnkd.in/eybDfsxQ #WorldImmunizationWeek2024 #Vaccines #PublicHealth
