When is World Immunization Week and why does it matter for Afghanistan?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

World Immunization Week is observed during the last week of April. WHO uses the week to promote protection from vaccine-preventable diseases.

What the figure or term means

Afghanistan faces measles outbreaks and persistent polio-transmission risk while access, trust, staffing, and mobility affect coverage.

Useful communication should use current health guidance and avoid shaming families or spreading unsupported claims.

The week recurs annually; exact campaign dates and themes may vary.

Use the source publication date when connecting an observance or historical event to a current statistic or appeal.
