"This year's VWA campaign aims to emphasize the protection that vaccines provide to individuals and their loved ones, and to stress their importance for a long and healthy life. The goal is to create awareness about the vaccines that people of all ages need to receive, and in doing so increase vaccine acceptance and uptake, which has been declining among children worldwide and more heavily in the Americas over the last decade.."(PAHO/WHO)
