The Ministry stated that the scientific and awareness activities during World Immunization Week will focus on three key areas. Firstly, raising awareness among community members about the importance of vaccinations for individuals of all ages as per the national immunization schedules. 
Secondly, intensifying educational activities by disseminating awareness messages on the importance of receiving vaccines.

This will support the National Immunization Program and help us raise vaccine coverage rates to 99% and above, according to the dates of the National Immunization Program,” Al Rand, said, adding that vaccines are safe and secure and follow international best practices.
