Mabtech celebrates World Vaccine Day from Sweden
Nacka Strand, Stockholm County, Sweden
Cancer vaccines are no longer just a concept.
In the AMPLIFY-201 phase 1 trial, a KRAS-targeted vaccine induced strong T-cell responses in patients with pancreatic and colorectal cancer. 21 out of 25 patients responded, and those who crossed a defined T-cell threshold saw significantly better relapse-free and overall survival.
How do you actually measure that kind of response? With FluoroSpot.
By detecting IFN-γ and Granzyme B secretion at the single-cell level, FluoroSpot revealed the polyfunctional T-cell subsets most closely linked to durable clinical benefit, insight that flow cytometry alone couldn't provide.
On this #WorldVaccineDay, we're proud that our tools help researchers ask and answer the questions that matter most.
Global Colon Cancer Association celebrates World Vaccine Day from Washington, DC, USA
Global Colon Cancer Association
On May 14, 1796, Dr. Edward Jenner performed the world’s first vaccination. 230 years later, that single act of science has grown into one of humanity’s most powerful cancer prevention tools.
This #WorldVaccineDay, the Global Colon Cancer Association reminds patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals: the HPV vaccine protects against anal cancer and five other cancer types. Vaccination isn’t just public health, it’s cancer prevention.

Why We Vax celebrates World Vaccine Day from San Francisco, California USA
Happy #WorldVaccineDay 2026!
Today marks the 5th annual global celebration recognizing the power of vaccines, the innovation behind them, and the people dedicated to improving public health around the world.
From Kiribati — the first place on Earth to welcome the new day — to communities across every continent, organizations, researchers, healthcare professionals, and advocates are coming together to celebrate the lifesaving impact of vaccines.
This year’s momentum is bigger than ever, with participation and engagement more than doubling from last year. Together, we’re helping expand vaccine education, combat misinformation, and amplify positive, science-based conversations worldwide.
World Vaccine Day is more than a celebration — it’s a global movement to recognize one of humanity’s most important public health achievements.
Thank you to all the volunteers, educators, scientists, healthcare workers, and supporters helping bring this day to life.
Celebrations of Vaccines Throughout the World
Atlas Symposia Celebrates World Vaccine Day from Chicago, Illinois USA
#WorldVaccineDay is a global reminder of the life-saving power of vaccines. Today we celebrate that and the full ecosystem behind it: the researchers who spend careers on a single pathogen, the manufacturers who scale what science discovers, the clinicians who deliver it, and the communities whose trust makes any of it work.
From Dr. Edward Jenner eradicating smallpox to controlling measles, polio and pandemics like COVID 19, vaccines have transformed global health. A 2024 WHO-led study published in The Lancet estimated that immunization has saved 154 million lives over the past 50 years. That is six lives every minute, every year, for five decades.
Vaccines remain one of the most cost-effective public health interventions ever developed. The science is remarkable. The human effort behind it, at every level, is equally so.
To everyone in the immunization community, in the lab, in the field, and everywhere in between: thank you for the work.🤝

SHOT IN THE ARM Documentary Screening
In solidarity with World Vaccine Day
May 14th at 6:00pm PT / 9:00pm ET
“SHOT IN THE ARM is a call to humanity to take a step back before we are all eliminated or too sick to care for anyone, let alone ourselves."
–– Sabina Dana Plasse, Film Threat
From Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy and Executive Producer Neil deGrasse Tyson, SHOT IN THE ARM is a powerful chronicle of our time that hopes to heal our divides by rebuilding faith in the social contract.
In the spring of 2019, before anyone had heard of COVID-19, Scott (THE GARDEN, FOOD EVOLUTION) began investigating a global measles epidemic and filming with top public health officials –including Tony Fauci, Paul Offit and Peter Hotez– who were trying to stop the measles outbreaks, as well as with anti-vaccine activists - like Robert Kennedy, Jr., Andrew Wakefield and Del Bigtree - who were persuading parents by the millions to refuse vaccines for their children. Then COVID-19 happened.

Passionate in Vaccine Development and Strengthening Childhood Immunization
Moderator is Dr. Aditi Bakshi from India
Immunization has been his passion over the years and has most recently participated with the community health centers in Rajasthan under the National Health Mission Program of India. He advocates to make vaccination possible for every child and to reduce zero dose situations and missed opportunities for vaccination.
In this video he discusses conjugate vaccines and successes. A conjugate vaccine is a type of subunit vaccine which combines a weak antigen with a strong antigen as a carrier so that the immune system has a stronger response to the weak antigen.
