154 million lives saved through immunization.
That’s 6 lives a minute for 5 decades.
We must not stop until every child has access to vaccines.
Leaders must invest in vaccines. #HumanlyPossible
We strongly condemn the bombing of displacement camps in eastern DR Congo.
The explosions killed at least 12 people and injured another 30 or more, mainly women and children.
