Every shot given is a promise kept—a promise of protection, health, and hope.
World Immunization Week, observed April 24–30, is a global campaign to raise awareness about the importance of vaccines in preventing disease and saving lives. For Rotary, this week is deeply personal. Our fight to end polio—one of the largest and most sustained public health efforts in history—is proof of what’s possible when people come together to immunize and protect.
Vaccines are more than medical tools. They are bridges to opportunity. A vaccinated child is more likely to attend school. A healthy family is more likely to prosper. A disease prevented is a future restored.
Rotary clubs worldwide continue to advocate for equitable vaccine access—not just for polio, but for measles, HPV, COVID-19, and other preventable diseases. In partnership with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and Gavi, Rotary’s efforts go beyond logistics—they are about building trust, educating communities, and breaking down barriers.
This week, we reflect on our progress—but we also recommit. Because until every child is safe, our work isn’t done.
As People of Action, we don’t just deliver vaccines—we deliver hope.
