A big thank you to everyone who supported Vaccine Engagement Day 2026! 🎉 It may be over, but #CelebrateVaccines continues 🥳 We’ll be sharing more blogs highlighting a range of vaccines, from major public health successes to the innovations shaping the future of vaccination.

Catching the #flu can be more than a nuisance - it can be life-threatening. Luckily, #vaccination is available to protect yourself. Our flu infographic highlights the importance of the flu vaccine & answers some common questions. Spread the word and help us #CelebrateVaccines

Polio can cause life-long disability, but it is preventable through vaccination. #CelebrateVaccines Our infographic explains what polio is, its symptoms, and why staying up to date with routine vaccines helps protect our communities. Take a look and share to raise awareness ⬇️

Did you know vaccines prevent 3.5–5 million deaths worldwide each year? #CelebrateVaccines On Vaccine Engagement Day, we’re highlighting how vaccines work, why high uptake matters & the vital role they play in protecting our communities. Share something from below today 👇

As part of our push to #CelebrateVaccines, we’re highlighting the MMRV vaccine! #Measles can cause serious illness & #vaccination is the best protection. Our measles infographic answers common questions & highlights the importance of the #MMRV #vaccine! vist.ly/4w457

Vaccines protect individuals and reduce disease across communities. Our infographic shows how infection rates of previously common diseases fell after vaccines were introduced… a clear demonstration of their impact. Share this post to help raise awareness & #CelebrateVaccines!

When enough people are immune to a disease, it struggles to spread - this is called herd immunity. It helps protect everyone, including those who can’t be vaccinated. Explore our “What is herd immunity?” infographic below & join the conversation about why we #CelebrateVaccines!

How do vaccines protect us from infectious diseases? #CelebrateVaccines They train your immune system to recognise and fight infection, without causing disease. Read about how vaccines work in our infographic below and find out more here: vist.ly/4w3g8

New blog! From chickenpox to shingles: a lifelong story of vaccination Chickenpox and shingles are caused by the same virus, but affect us at different stages of life. For Vaccine Engagement Day, we’re spotlighting vaccines that protect against both. 👉 vist.ly/4w3du
