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.

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.
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.
