18.01.2022 World Immunization Week is celebrated every year in the last week of April aims to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. Immunization saves millions of lives every year and is widely recognized as one of the world’s most successful health interventions. Yet, there are still nearly 20 million children in the world today who are not getting the vaccines they need, and many miss out on vital vaccines during adolescence, adulthood and into o...ld age. As part of the 2021 campaign, WHO, partners and individuals around the world will unite to: - Increase trust and confidence in vaccines to maintain or increase vaccine acceptance - Increase investment in vaccines, including routine immunization, to remove barriers to access While the world focuses on critically important new vaccines to protect against COVID-19, there remains a need to ensure routine vaccinations are not missed. Many children have not been vaccinated during the global pandemic, leaving them at risk of serious diseases like measles and polio. Rapidly circulating misinformation around the topic of vaccination adds to this threat. https://bit.ly/3dBb6Yc

01.01.2022 This Trans Awareness Week, take meaningful action even little actions like taking the time to understand the importance of pronouns can make a huge difference. What are pronouns are why are they important. A pronoun is a word that refers to either the people talking (I or you) or someone/something that is being talked about (like she, it, them, and this). Pronouns like he, she and they specifically refer to the people that you are talking about.... It is important to respect people's pronouns. You can't always know what someone's pronouns are by looking at them. Asking and correctly using someone's pronouns is one of the most basic ways to show your respect for gender identity. Gasworks Medical Practice believes in creative a safe and inclusive environment for all our patients. https://bit.ly/3eWZVZS
