World Immunization Week 2025

Protecting Every Child. Strengthening Every Future.
At the European Academy of Paediatrics, we believe that every child — no matter their background or where they live – has the right to protection from preventable diseases. Health equity starts with immunization, and as paediatricians, we see how vaccines protect not only lives but entire futures.
Reaching the unreached is not a scientific challenge – it is a matter of political will. With bold investment and inclusive strategies, immunization for all can become a humanly possible reality – across Europe and beyond.
Every vaccination brings us closer to a world where no one suffers or dies from preventable illnesses.
At EAP, we work year-round to:
Advocate for universal access to safe, effective vaccines
Counter misinformation with evidence-based facts
Support paediatricians and healthcare professionals across Europe
Promote policies that uphold every child’s right to immunization
EAP STATEMENTS ON
VACCINES
Vaccines are among the most powerful tools we have to protect children, families, and communities from life-threatening diseases. Each and every vaccination brings us one step closer to a healthier, safer world – a world where no child, adolescent, adult, older person or vulnerable individual suffers or dies from a preventable illness.
Immunization not only saves millions of lives every year, but it also strengthens healthcare systems and advances global health equity. It is a force for good – shielding lives, restoring hope, and uplifting the health of entire nations.
This World Immunization Week, let us stand united in our support for universal access to lifesaving vaccines. For everyone, everywhere. When we protect each other, we build a brighter and more resilient future for all.
Together, we can transform the power of vaccines into a lasting legacy of health, safety, and compassion – for this generation and for those yet to come.
