World Vaccine Day is celebrated annually on May 14th.

Why is World Vaccine Day celebrated annually on May 14th?

This day was selected because on May 14, 1796, Dr. Edward Jenner took fluid from a cowpox blister and scratched it into the skin of James Phipps, an eight-year-old boy. A single blister rose up on the spot, but James soon recovered. On July 1, Jenner inoculated the boy again, this time with smallpox matter, and no disease developed. This 1st vaccine was a success and we celebrate that milestone on World Vaccine Day, annually.

About World Vaccine Day

This is the one day when people around the globe celebrate the virtues and benefits of vaccines, open their offices, labs, research centers and shops for tours (both virtual and physical), discuss new technologies, and work to include vaccines in legislation at the local, regional, national and international levels.

Raising Awareness

World Vaccine Day aims to raise awareness of the many positive contributions that vaccines make to our society. World Vaccine Day celebrates the people that discover, fabricate, design, build, manufacture and support the broad range of technologies that create and deliver vaccines, worldwide.
