The Global Action Plan Vaccine aims to improve health by increasing the benefits of vaccination for all, regardless of where they are born, who they are or where they live. Vaccines have benefits for the individual and for the community. Through them we protect ourselves and our environment.

Currently, vaccination is considered the best investment in public health, so this year's campaign motto is "Collectively Protected", which seeks to redouble efforts to increase immunization coverage for the common good . The experts from the Barceló Foundation stress: "Without vaccination, rare diseases such as whooping cough, polio or measles may come back."
