to keep life-saving medicines working Suboptimal access to vaccinations and missed vaccine doses reduce the potential impact of vaccination in controlling AMR. WHO encourages policy-makers to align vaccination and AMR control strategies and is supporting Member States to achieve this. "It's great to hear that parents like Elena are motivated to keep antimicrobials working and to choose vaccination to help prevent infectious diseases," says Dr Siddartha Datta, Regional Adviser for Vaccine-Preventable diseases and Immunization at WHO/Europe. "Our individual actions matter. The value of vaccinating an individual and its impact on AMR are often under-recognized. But times are changing. AMR is now a major global health threat to this and future generations. Getting all scheduled vaccinations on time helps prevent the spread of diseases. This, and taking medicines as prescribed, helps reduce the risk of AMR.". https://lnkd.in/duAPXs6H #PublicHealth #Europe #StayInformed #StayEmpowered
