Alfredo Corell's insight:
The documents contained here are designed to assist health professionals in their day-to-day work as it relates to immunization. Some of the resources are meant to provide health workers with information and training, while others are meant to be shared with patients, to provide them with important information about immunization and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Immunization averts an estimated 2-3 million deaths every year, providing protection from diphtheria, measles, pertussis (whooping cough), pneumonia, polio, rotavirus diarrhoea, rubella and tetanus. Yet, an estimated 22 million infants are not fully immunized with routine vaccines. There is an urgent need to better communicate the health benefits of vaccination and the dangers of not immunizing children.
