It is inexcusable that in a world as developed as ours, there are still children dying of diseases that should have been eradicated long ago.
Worse, we have the solution in our hands but it is not being put to full use.
Yes, #VaccinesWork.
African leaders showed their commitment to immunization & child health by endorsing the Addis Declaration 2+ yrs ago. Today, @Presidence_RDC reaffirmed that commitment, despite immense challenges. @WHO supports #DRC’s efforts to scale up #immunization & #PHC. #ADI#HealthForAll

Around the world, complacency among the public, coupled with misunderstanding and misinformation, is causing vaccination rates to decline, with tragic results. #Vaccines are safe, effective, and lifesaving. #VaccinesWork#WHA72 https://t.co/wImeA1LdmX
"@WHO welcomes the establishment of the African Parliamentarian Caucus on Immunization. Now more than ever, we need strong political champions for immunization to make sure no child in Africa is left behind."
