At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
The day is marked worldwide to promote more awareness about HIV and its vaccination. Even though the day is observed worldwide, it is mainly observed in the US.
The day is observed by people who are tied to preventive HIV vaccine research and people who are concerned about AIDS research.
The day was initiated in 1998.
National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is behind this day.
As you may know, HIV/AIDS poses a great threat when it comes to worldwide health due to it turning into an epidemic. A turning point for it can be the discovery of a preventive vaccine. And research has been taking place for more than 20 years to develop the vaccine. So, let's learn a bit about the history of this ailment.
There are no particular traditions or customs attached to this day. But, people who are attached to preventive HIV vaccine research take this opportunity to thank people like volunteers, researchers, scientists, and doctors who are working towards achieving the goal of creating HIV vaccines. The day is also observed by hosting awareness drives to let more people know about HIV.
If you have never heard about AIDS research related to the HIV vaccine, you can use this day to learn about its importance. Furthermore, suppose you're a teacher or work with teenagers and college students. In that case, this day can be an excellent occasion to educate them about HIV, its prevention, and how scientists are trying to research and develop a preventive vaccine for HIV. You can also choose to attend any event hosted by a health facility or the government to bring awareness among people regarding the HIV vaccine.
National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) encourages the day.
The day helps to thank scientists, doctors, researchers, and volunteers who have come forward to develop the HIV vaccine.
Families can celebrate the day by reading up about HIV/AIDS and educating the children about ongoing research.
The day helps to fight against stigma regarding HIV and helps more people know about research regarding vaccines.
