Closing the Gap on Immunizations

As we mark "World Immunization Week" (April 24-30) it is sobering to note that 1 in 5 children (or 18.7 million children worldwide) are still missing out on routine immunizations for preventable diseases.

This is why GRAN supports the call of the World Health Organization (WHO) to “Close the Gap” on immunization.
