European Immunization Week is due to take place this year between 16 and 22 April across the continent. The initiative, which is coordinated by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO Europe) with support from organisations such as the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), was conceived in 2004 as a result of declining or stabilising immunisation coverage and sporadic, large outbreaks of measles across the region.
