Morocco in celebrating World Vaccination Week from April 21-25, under the slogan “We love our children… We protect them with vaccination.”

The Ministry of Health and Social Protection emphasized in a statement that this week serves as a reminder of the importance of vaccination, which is one of the best investments in healthcare and a fundamental component of primary healthcare. It is a right to protect children’s health and ensure the country’s health security.

The ministry stressed that maintaining high vaccination coverage is crucial in preventing the resurgence of dangerous, vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles. This week provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the significance of child vaccination and combat surrounding misinformation.

Thanks to the leadership of King Mohammed VI and the guidance of Princess Lalla Meryem, Morocco has become a leader in the Eastern Mediterranean region, ensuring safe, effective, and free vaccinations for all children in line with the 1993 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
