Nurses’ Day: Honoring Dedication, Knowledge, and Compassion in Healthcare

On the occasion of Nurses’ Day, the 1st International Congress of Vaccine and Vaccination (ICVV 2026) recognizes and appreciates the invaluable contributions of nurses to public health, patient care, and the improvement of quality of life.

Nursing is a profession grounded in scientific knowledge, clinical expertise, commitment, and compassion. Nurses play an essential role in healthcare systems through patient care, health education, disease prevention, and support for individuals and communities. Their contributions are vital to the delivery of effective healthcare services and to strengthening public trust in health systems.

In the prevention of infectious diseases and the advancement of immunization programs, nurses play a particularly important role in public education, raising awareness, and promoting vaccine acceptance. Within the One Health framework, collaboration among professionals across human, animal, and environmental health is also essential to addressing emerging and re-emerging diseases and strengthening preparedness for public health threats.

On Nurses’ Day, the 1st International Congress of Vaccine and Vaccination (ICVV 2026) pays tribute to the dedication and professionalism of nurses and acknowledges their important contribution to safeguarding public health. The Congress also emphasizes the importance of bringing together science, technology, policy, and healthcare practice to advance immunization and build a healthier future.

Happy Nurses’ Day to all dedicated nurses!
