Happy to deliver the 1st APCP PEDICON Oration on 7 June, celebrating 10 years of #APPACongress. As former APCP Chairman & APPA President-Elect, it was wonderful to reconnect with my TCB family. An evening of nostalgia, gratitude, and cherished memories. #PEDICON

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.

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. 🔗 asianage.com/opinion/columni… #WorldImmunizationWeek #VaccinesWork #WIW2026 #MakeInIndia

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 #InstantSuccessOnlyTakes25Years

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. #worldimmunizationweek
