World Immunization Week: Vaccination in 2021
In support of World Immunization Week, News-Medical talks to experts in different areas of the medical sector on why immunization week is so prevalent in 2021 and the importance of global access to vaccination.
2021 will be a big year for vaccination. What has the COVID-19 pandemic taught us about immunization?
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought vividly both the unique and transformational promise vaccines hold in ending pandemics and enabling societies to function, as well as the massive, systemic inequities that hinder that promise. It has also shown us that the mere existence of vaccines is insufficient without efforts to ensure that systems to supply, deliver, and communicate about vaccines are in place to ensure equitable access for all.
