'Humanly Possible: Saving lives through immunization'

With recent outbreaks of diphtheria and measles, as global healthcare professionals we continue to emphasise these messages:

Vaccines have played a vital role in eliminating smallpox and bringing us close to eradicating #polio . Additionally, they have effectively managed other serious illnesses such as #measles , diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis.

#WIW2024 #WorldImmunizationWeek

Individuals at higher risk of #diphtheria infection are strongly advised to get vaccinated against diphtheria.

Visit a primary health care centre close to you to get the anti-diphtheria vaccine.

#TakeResponsibility to stay safe and healthy.

Historically, #Türkiye has made great efforts to make vaccines available and accessible.

Thanks to Türkiye's efforts over the years, many preventable diseases, such as diphtheria and polio, are no longer a threat. 💉

Five decades ago, millions of children died of diseases such as measles, polio & diphtheria with few having access to life-saving vaccines.  The Expanded Programme on Immunization saved 154M lives in 5 decades.

Join us in saving more lives with vaccines. It’s #HumanlyPossible .

Brushfire Fairytale Diphtheria, likewise, was nearly eradicated only after vaccination.

Immunity together. Community forever.
When people in a community are vaccinated against an infectious disease e.g. measles, whooping cough, mumps, diphtheria and flu, it becomes much less likely to spread from person to person.

Nigeria’s immunisation schedule focuses on protecting against diseases such as polio, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, tuberculosis, yellow fever, and many more

And you play a big role in this by getting vaccinated.

Stay up to date with your vaccines to keep yourself, loved…

50 years ago, the Expanded Programme on Immunization was launched to protect children against diseases like tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, and measles.

Today, it has expanded to include 13 universally recommended vaccines that protect people across all stages of life.

Immunization currently prevents 3.5-5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza & measles

For 50 years now, EPI has focused on protecting children against childhood diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and measles.

Today, this number has grown to 13 universally recommended vaccines across the life course.

Since 2020, the uptake of primary childhood immunisation has declined across all vaccines, including whooping cough, measles, mumps and rubella, polio, meningitis and diphtheria and as a result we are seeing a re-emergence of some of these diseases.
