Vaccination Week in the Americas 2020: Final Report

In 2020, from 25 April to 2 May the Region of the Americas celebrated its 18th Vaccination Week in the Americas (VWA) campaign and its 9th World Immunization Week. The 2020 regional slogan was "Love. Trust. Protect. #GetVax". In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, PAHO emphasized that VWA is a flexible platform and the activities developed under its framework can be adapted to the different local, national, regional, and global contexts. 45 countries and territories of the Americas planned to participate in VWA. However, many countries postponed their activities due to the global epidemiological situation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown policies implemented in the countries.
