ML-Admin — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:02:37 +0000

World Immunization Week, celebrated in the last week of April, aims to highlight the collective action needed to protect people from vaccine-preventable diseases. This year, under the theme “For Every Generation, Vaccines Work,” the focus is on the long-term health benefits that immunization provides throughout our lives.
•Saving Lives: Vaccines have saved over 150 million lives globally in the last 50 years alone.
•Generational Health: Immunization is not just for children; it builds a stronger, healthier foundation for the entire community.
•Call to Action: Parents and guardians are urged to visit their nearest health center to ensure their children’s vaccination cards are up to date.
Parents are urged to ensure their children complete their immunization schedules on time.
As the weather gets hotter in Sindh (read our heatwave safety guide), it is even more critical to keep children healthy. High temperatures can weaken the immune system, making timely vaccination even more vital for protection.

Together, we can make Pakistan polio-free and healthy
