Dr Faisal underlines significance of vaccination Islamabad April 27, 2021 Islamabad : The World Immunisation Week reminds us of our responsibility in taking action to bring the benefits of immunisation to all. I urge all parents to get their children vaccinated. When people ensure that their families and communities are protected with vaccines, we are all protected together. The PM’s Special Assistant on Health Dr. Faisal Sultan expressed these views while addressing an event marking the opening of World Immunisation week, which is being commemorated this year with the theme “Vaccines bring us closer.” Every year, WIW is celebrated in the last week of April (24 to 30 April) to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against infectious diseases. Vaccines save millions of lives every year and are widely recognized as one of the world’s most successful and cost-effective health interventions.
