World Immunisation Week: PMC Leads the Way in Building Vaccine Confidence

As the world marks World Immunisation Week (24–30 April 2025), Putra Medical Centre (PMC) is proud to reaffirm our commitment to protecting lives through vaccination, one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine.

At a time when vaccine hesitancy is rising and adult immunisation rates remain uneven, PMC is stepping up efforts to make vaccination part of everyday healthcare. Whether it’s a child’s first dose or a senior citizen’s booster, we believe immunisation is a responsibility shared across every stage of life.

“Vaccines are not just about individual protection—they are about community resilience,” said a PMC spokesperson.

“World Immunisation Week is a timely reminder that prevention is always better than cure.”

Addressing The Real Issues Behind Vaccine Hesitancy

Despite greater access to vaccines today, many Malaysians still hesitate. Why? Common concerns include:

1. 1. Fear of side effects
   2. Misinformation circulating online
   3. Questions around halal status

A 2023 study in Frontiers in Public Health found that trust in healthcare providers and consistent community engagement are key in overcoming this reluctance. That’s why PMC is investing in clearer communication, better patient education and stronger relationships with the communities we serve.

Vaccination is Part of Who We Are

At PMC, preventive care is more than a service, it’s our core mission. From our clinics to community outreach, we actively promote immunisation through:

1. 1. Digital health reminders
   2. Educational talks and materials
   3. Friendly consultations with our medical experts

Our goal is simple: To make immunisation easy, trustworthy and accessible for everyone.

Your Health, Our Mission

Whether you’re a parent, a caregiver or an individual looking to stay protected, vaccination is your shield against preventable diseases. PMC is here to support you with up-to-date information, qualified guidance and comprehensive care.

Together, let’s close the immunisation gap and build a healthier future for Malaysia.

Putra Medical Centre remains committed to being a trusted healthcare partner not just in times of crisis, but every day in the fight against vaccine-preventable diseases.
