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/column… #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

@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 .

Extremely Sorry Dr Naveen Thacker 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 — especially when social distancing was a core guideline. A simple recorded video could have delivered the same message without risking unnecessary exposure. Awareness is important… but so is consistency in safety. @JPNadda @PMOIndia @aiims_newdelhi @anupsoans @docakx @DrAmbrishMithal @Lap_surgeon

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
