Vaccinating the World Impact!

In this special episode, as we approach the end of World Immunisation Week, we take a special look at how the world is performing in terms of vaccinating its people. This month also marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), which was created by the World Health Assembly with the aim of vaccinating all children against diphtheria, measles, pertussis, polio, tetanus, tuberculosis, and smallpox, the only human disease ever eradicated. There’s much to celebrate, although warnings and challenges too that need our prayers and focus for sending intention.  
Suggested intention 
While there has been significant progress in the 50 years since the UN’s drive toward immunizing all against preventable diseases, with the continued need for all countries of the world to co-operate in funding and supporting vaccination rollout, we suggest holding as our focused intention this week: 
We will that all governments will be moved to recognise the priority for enabling and promoting vaccination against preventable diseases for all people who are governed by them. 
Please join us in holding this.
