Over 60% of the global vaccine supply today is made in India. During COVID-19, the country exported 300 million doses while vaccinating more than a billion people at home. Indian scientists are also developing affordable vaccines for malaria, dengue, and other infectious diseases.

In this piece, @naveenthacker, Executive Director, @IPAWorldorg, traces how India moved from having one of the world's toughest immunization challenges to anchoring its solution.

[Global Health Strategies @GHS]

India's immunization journey is one of public health's most compelling success stories, with its impact reaching far beyond its borders. From eliminating polio at home to supplying more than 60% of the world's vaccines, India has become a cornerstone of global immunization efforts. It has been built on decades of scientific investment, a vast network of community health workers, and hard-won public trust in vaccines.

@naveenthacker traces this journey, and why its experience holds vital lessons for the world.

As #WorldImmunizationWeek comes to a close,my message to future vaccine advocates: follow your passion & continue to work,even there is no success/recognition. After 25 years, I was humbled to be recognized by @UNICEF in 2017 alongside @SrBachchan

@heritagemedical @WHO @UNICEFIndia @MoHFW_GUJARAT @MoHFW_INDIA @doctorsoumya @gavi @DrSethBerkley @BillGates @Kate_L_OBrien @narendramodi @UpNhm @UNICEF I agree . Nothing can justify that . When I was asked by media how are you feeling after vaccination. My response was I am confyident vaccine will work after some time if I do not catch up Covid today .

[Naveen Thacker @naveenthacker]

5 years ago, I was the first person in #gujarat to receive the #covidvaccine, in the presence of the Gujarat Cabinet and 150 #media representatives. For me, it was a chance to demonstrate a belief I have carried throughout my life — trust in the power of #vaccines.

[Naveen Thacker @naveenthacker]

Every mother wants best for her child’s future & you don’t have to figure it out alone. #Healthworkers are there to guide you: when #vaccines are due, what to expect, & why every dose matters. Ask questions & stay on track with your child’s schedule.
