vaccination campaigns
Public immunization drives
Vaccination campaigns are organized efforts to immunize large numbers of people against a disease, typically within a defined time period.
They may target specific populations—children, the elderly, healthcare workers—or aim for broad coverage during outbreaks.
The polio vaccination campaign nearly eradicated the disease worldwide.
Campaigns combine logistics, public education, and sometimes mandates to achieve herd immunity.
