Vaccine and Immunology

Paediatric Vaccination

Every year, immunization against diseases including pertussis, polio, tetanus, and diphtheria prevents the deaths of about three million children. Additionally, vaccination saves countless numbers of people from crippling diseases and permanent disabilities. Every year, almost 132 million newborns worldwide require a complete immunization. Immunization systems need sufficient funding, a workforce that is motivated and well-trained, as well as a sufficient supply of syringes and vaccinations, to address this need.
