Global health initiatives were established to tackle increasing global health threats, reduce disparities within communities and between nations, and contribute to a world where people live healthier, safer, and longer lives. They aim to provide vaccines for diseases like cholera, COVID-19, dengue, diphtheria, hepatitis, Hib, HPV, influenza, Japanese encephalitis, malaria, measles, meningococcal meningitis, mumps, pertussis, pneumococcal disease, poliomyelitis, rabies, rotavirus, rubella, tetanus, tick-borne encephalitis, tuberculosis, and typhoid. Immunization is the process by which vaccination makes a person protected against a disease

health threats, reduce disparities within
communities and between nations and
contribute to a world where people live
healthier, safer and longer lives.

2. initiative
• is the ability to be resourceful and work
without always being told what to do. It
requires resilience and determination.
People who show initiative demonstrate they
can think for themselves and take action
when necessary. It means using your head,
and having the drive to achieve.

4. IMMUNIZATION
•A process by which a person
becomes protected against a
disease through vaccination.
This term is often used
interchangeably with vaccination
or inoculation.

5. •Vaccination is the term used for getting a
vaccine — that is, actually having the
injection or taking an oral vaccine dose.
Immunisation is the process of both
getting the vaccine and becoming
immune to the disease after vaccination.

8. Difference Between Vaccination And Immunization
Vaccination Immunization
The process involves using vaccines to trigger an
immune response to protect against
infections/diseases.
The process of making one resistant to an infectious
disease usually through vaccination.
It is usually injected or administered orally It is not administered in any way. The body
develops resistance from vaccines.
Imovax Rabies is the trade name for rabies vaccine The body builds up immunity through this vaccine
for the disease rabies.
Vaccination does not guarantee complete resistance
to a disease
Complete immunity occurs when the person fully
recovers from the disease.
Usually, if mutation happens to microbes, it might
render the vaccine ineffective (this is the reason why
common cold has no vaccine)
Similarly, variations of a disease impact the body’s
ability to generate an immune response.
