ABOUT VACCINATION WEEK IN THE AMERICAS
From 26 April to 3 May, 2025, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), together with the countries and territories of the Region of the Americas and its partners, will celebrate the 23rd annual Vaccination Week in the Americas (VWA) and the 14th World Immunization Week (WIW) under the call to action:
Your decision makes a difference. Immunization for all
