World Immunisation Week 2025

What is a vaccine?

Vaccines teach your immune system how to create antibodies that protect you from diseases.

It’s much safer for your immune system to learn this through vaccination than by catching the diseases and treating them.

Why should I get vaccinated?

• Stay healthy: Avoid illnesses like measles, flu, COVID‑19 and whooping cough.
• Protect loved ones: When you’re protected, babies, older relatives and friends with weak immune systems are safer too.
• Fewer visits to your GP: Vaccinated people get sick less often, saving you time, worry and money.

What can I do this week?

1. Check your vaccination status
