Why have an annual European Immunization Week?
Born out of a concern that immunization is becoming less valued, resulting in declining vaccination coverage and outbreaks
Regional Goal of EIW: To increase vaccination
coverage by drawing attention to and increasing awareness of the importance of immunization; special focus on vulnerable groups
