World Immunization Week is April 24-30. This year’s theme is #VaccinesWork to bring us closer. Could the timing be any better? The COVID-19 pandemic and the race for vaccines and treatments brought the topic of immunization into the living rooms of citizens across the world.
We are coming off a full year in which the ability for us to physically spend time together has been severely limited. We all yearn to be closer to those we love and get back to interacting with each other face-to-face — not just virtually.
The campaign for COVID-19 vaccinations is the largest global vaccination effort ever executed. The process of vaccine development has been record-shattering as well, going from platform to approval in less than 12 months. It is nothing short of remarkable, especially to those of us who have been in this industry for a long time.
