World Immunization Week 2025 was commemorated from April 24th to 30th under the global theme “Immunization for All is Humanly Possible.” This theme served as a powerful reminder of the impact that collective action, scientific innovation, and sustained public health investment can have on improving global health outcomes.

As the focal point of Sri Lanka’s National Immunization Programme, the Epidemiology Unit conducted a media briefing on April 23rd, 2025 at the Health Promotion Bureau. The session aimed to highlight the critical importance of immunization and to engage media professionals in promoting vaccine confidence among the public. The event underscored the influential role of the media in raising awareness, dispelling misinformation, and reinforcing trust in vaccines across communities.
