When it comes to first impressions, we all want to make a good one. And that’s why we tend to focus on our best traits and qualities. However, we often fall into the trap of thinking that everything about us needs to be perfect. But that’s just unrealistic. We all have imperfections. It’s part of being human. And while it’s easy to believe that our ‘supposed flaws and imperfections’ make us less attractive, here are some that can actually make us seem more appealing to others:
World Immunization Week is a reminder of the life-saving power of vaccines.
50 years ago, in 1974, WHO launched the Expanded Program on Immunization, bringing countries together to provide children everywhere with vaccines. Since then, vaccination has saved an estimated 154 million lives from diseases like measles, tetanus, diphtheria, and pneumonia.
Thanks to vaccination, an infant born today is 40% more likely to survive to their first birthday than they were 50 years ago. And with new vaccines against malaria and cervical cancer, we can save more lives than ever.
And yet millions of children are missing out on vaccines due to disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic, conflict and other crisis. Old killers like measles and diphtheria are resurging.
This World Immunization Week, WHO is calling on governments to reverse this trend. With renewed political commitment, sustainable funding, integrated planning, community engagement and research and development, we can show it’s humanly possible to give the life-saving power of vaccines to every child.
