global vaccination programs

Global vaccination programs are coordinated efforts by governments and international organizations to prevent and control infectious diseases worldwide. They aim to immunize populations against illnesses like measles, polio, and COVID-19, reducing illness, death, and disease spread. These programs often target vulnerable groups and underserved areas to ensure equitable access. Through widespread vaccination, herd immunity is built, protecting even those who cannot be vaccinated. Successful programs involve coordination of resources, public education, and delivery infrastructure, ultimately helping to improve global health, prevent outbreaks, and save lives across diverse communities.
