European Immunization Week

The next EIW will take place 23 - 30 April 2011. WHO/Europe is pleased to announce an important theme for EIW 2011: Shared solutions to common threats. Recent outbreaks have clearly illustrated that when vaccine-preventable diseases spread, shared borders lead to common threats. One of the best ways to combat these threats is by sharing responsibility for immunization, particularly on a sub-regional level. EIW 2011 will highlight the importance of collaboration and sharing both experiences and solutions for keeping vaccine-preventable diseases under control within the European Region. All Member States of the European Region are encouraged to participate in this initiative.
