Answer: November 10
Notes: World Immunization Day, observed on November 10, raises awareness about the importance of vaccines in preventing diseases. Immunization is cost-effective, saves millions of lives, and reduces diseases like measles, polio, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. Vaccines strengthen community health through herd immunity, protecting both individuals and populations. The day encourages extending vaccine access, especially to underserved groups. In India, challenges exist in reaching remote areas, and many children remain partially or unimmunized. India’s initiatives like the Universal Immunization Programme and Mission Indradhanush have significantly reduced disease rates and child mortality.
