THE THEME
The 2019 World Veterinary Day and Award theme is Value of Vaccination. Vaccination is an essential tool
for preventive veterinary medicine, promotion of animal health and welfare, and reducing the risk of
human exposure to many zoonotic pathogens.
Historically, immunization practices and vaccination protocols have contributed to significantly reduce
the prevalence of many life-threatening diseases. The risks of not vaccinating can be significant to
individual animals and populations and can have consequences on the livelihoods of rural livestock
producers in economically developed and emerging regions.
Effective vaccination programs, broadly implemented, are likely to reduce the need for antimicrobials,
which in turn can help reduce the risk of emergent antimicrobial resistance. The World Veterinary
Association and Health for Animals believe it is essential for the global veterinary profession to educate
the public, particularly animal owners and producers, about the benefits of vaccination for the animal,
human, and public health.
