Expanding Vaccination Coverage Safeguards Families From The Cycle Of Poverty

Today I want to tell you #WhyVaccinesWork. I have seen progress made and lives saved. Vaccines protect against 26 diseases. Where accessible, this means more children are living past their fifth birthday, an important milestone for child survival. It also means adults, communities, and nations are healthier. During World Immunization Week, we must celebrate our shared results and redouble our efforts to improve the health and lives of people everywhere.
