April 24-30, 2015, is World Immunization Week! Close the immunization gap! - WHO.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) announced in a tweet that April 24-30, 2015, is World Immunization Week.

We are, all, enjoined to 'Close the immunization gap!'

 According to the World Health Organisation,

• Immunization prevents illness, disability and death from vaccine-preventable diseases including cervical cancer, diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, pertussis, pneumonia, polio, rotavirus diarrhoea, rubella and tetanus.
• Global vaccination coverage is holding steady.
• Immunization currently averts an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths every year.
• But an estimated 21.8 million infants worldwide are still missing out on basic vaccines.
