Vaccine hesitancy – the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines threatens to reverse the progress made in tackling vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccination is still one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease – it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year and a further 1.5 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved according to WHO.
The reasons why people choose not to vaccinate are complex and that is what this discussion sought to address along with the other pressing vaccine-related issues. Watch it now. See poster for details.
Together let's protect our children from serious yet preventable diseases through vaccination.
