Happy World Immunization Week! Celebrate with us by tuning into our stories for educational vaccine content 💉

“World Immunization Week, celebrated in the last week of April, aims to highlight the collective action needed and to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. 🫂
Through its convening power, WHO works with countries across the globe 🌎 to raise awareness of the value of vaccines and immunization and ensures that governments obtain the necessary guidance and technical support to implement high quality immunization programmes.
The ultimate goal of World Immunization Week is for more people – and their communities – to be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.” 💌 (https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-immunization-week)

APhA spread the love this Valentine’s Day at our Winter Kobey’s Swap Meet Health Outreach ❤️
Student pharmacists provided free health screenings and shared resources on mental health and substance use disorder to support our San Diego community.
Our outreach featured booths on Hypertension, Diabetes, Cholesterol/BMI, Substance Use Disorder, and Mental Health in collaboration with SNPhA. We also distributed free Narcan to help equip our community with life-saving tools to reverse opioid overdose.
Thank you to our dedicated preceptors and volunteers for making this event possible and for helping us care for our community 💊
