RRS ARTICLE OF THE WEEK

 

Article 6: Every child has the right to life.

Governments must do all they can to ensure children survive and develop to their full potential. 

Article 24: Every child has the right to the best possible health.

Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and wellbeing so that children can stay healthy. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this. 

World Immunisation Week is celebrated every year in the last week of April.

It aims to raise awareness of vaccines and their important role in protecting people of all ages against potentially life-threatening diseases.  Immunisation saves many millions of lives every year, yet there are millions of children in the world who are not getting the vaccines they need, and many people miss out on vaccines as they get older.   Covid-19 has made us all aware of the importance of vaccinations in protecting our lives, health and wellbeing. This year’s theme is ‘Vaccines bring us closer’ recognising how important it is that the world works together to improve the health of everyone.

UNICEF is playing a leading role in this.
