About International Day of Epidemic Preparedness

International Day of Epidemic Preparedness is marked on 27 December each year. It’s one of the awareness days listed on Wikipedia.

In 2026 it falls on a Sunday; in 2027 it’s on Monday 27 December, and in 2028 on Wednesday 27 December. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in December 2026: Boxing Day (26 Dec), National Fruitcake Day (27 Dec) and Good Riddance Day (28 Dec). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
