The MOHWEA joins the region in observing Vaccination Week of the Americas 2024 from April 20th to April 27th. During that period we are reminded of the critical role that vaccines play in safeguarding public health and building a resilient future for all. The theme for this year’s observance is "Vaccines as Part of an Active Life: Engage Now to Protect Your Future." Under this theme we are called upon to take proactive steps today to ensure a healthier tomorrow. Being fully vaccinated means that our life and life processes can continue without interruption.
As the National Immunization Manager, within the MOHWEA, it is an honor to lead efforts to promote vaccination and raise awareness about its importance in our communities. Vaccines are not just about preventing diseases; they are about enabling active, vibrant lives free from the burden of illness. By getting vaccinated, individuals not only protect themselves but also contribute to the well-being of their families, friends, and neighbors and by extension, promote healthy communities.
This year's theme emphasizes the proactive role each of us can play in shaping our future health outcomes through vaccination. It encourages everyone to engage with vaccination efforts and take responsibility for their own well-being. Whether it's getting vaccinated against preventable diseases or encouraging others to do the same, our actions today will have a profound impact on the health and prosperity of future generations.
Through Vaccination Week of the Americas 2024, we aim to highlight the benefits of vaccination and address any concerns or misconceptions that may exist. We want to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and the health of their communities. Together, we can build a future where preventable diseases are a thing of the past and everyone can live life to the fullest.
The Ministry of Health urges everyone to join in supporting vaccination efforts towards the elimination of Vaccine Preventable Diseases. Engage now, protect your future, and let's ensure a healthier and brighter tomorrow for all.
