most cost-effective ways to save lives and promote good health and well-being throughout the life course. Every year, vaccines save millions of lives, and millions more people are protected from disease and disability. By preventing many serious early-childhood infectious diseases, like polio and measles, immunization helps children grow into healthy adults. Other vaccines given early in life help prevent liver and cervical cancer many years later, and vaccination of older adults protects them from influenza, COVID-19 and other serious diseases.</span></p><p><span style="background-color:initial;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;text-align:inherit;text-transform:inherit;white-space:inherit;word-spacing:normal;caret-color:auto;"></span>The WHO European Region has made great progress in recent decades on many of these fronts, but there are still gaps in vaccination coverage that put especially the most vulnerable at risk. Access to vaccines, including against human papillomavirus and SARS-CoV2, is also not equitable within and among countries. <br /></p><div><p> </p></div><div class="arrowed-link"><a href="/europe/emergencies/situations/covid-19/covid-19-vaccination">COVID-19 vaccination </a></div><div class="arrowed-link"><a href="/europe/emergencies/situations/monkeypox/monkeypox-vaccination">Mpox (monkeypox) vaccination</a></div><p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sf_cols singleTabWrapper"> <div class="sf_colsOut tabHeaderWrapper" data-sf-element="Tab header" data-placeholder-label="Tab header"> <div class="sf_colsIn tabHeaderText"> <div class="sf-content-block content-block"> Impact </div> </div> </div> <div class="sf_colsOut tabContent" data-sf-element="Tab contents" data-placeholder-label="Tab contents"> <div class="sf_colsIn"> <p>Immunization is one of the “best buys” in global health, a strong foundation of the primary health care system and an indisputable human right.
