Immunization

If you have a certificate of immunization, please bring it when you come.

WHO’s director of the Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, Kate O’Brien warns measles outbreaks are not just persisting, but are increasing.

The vaccine will be administered free to all 10-year-old girls as part of the country's routine immunization schedule.

The four-phase immunization plan is based on scientific evidence, as well as expert advice and guidance from the public health leadership committee.

Our plan puts people at the forefront of every decision, and our immunization rollout will guide us through the spring and summer, ensuring that those who are most in need of the vaccine will receive it as soon as possible.

Did you receive immunization shots as a child?

There are about 864,000 children under the age of five that we will reach with this vaccine, and surrounding countries, particularly Uzbekistan and Kyrgyztan, are being asked to step up their surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis, which is a sign of polio, and to look into their immunization rates to make sure that children are adequately protected in those surrounding areas.

Near-synonym: vaccination (broadly synonymous)

Immunization against influenza is important for all child-care workers.

It will do little for the future of immunization to prepare excellent vaccines, test them to a fare-thee-well for safety and efficacy, and then not insure that they are adequately used.
