“Immunization is one of the most cost-effective ways to save lives and promote good health and well-being. Every year, vaccines save 2-3 million lives, and millions more are protected from disease and disability.

This provides an effective platform to deliver other primary health care services and upon which to build universal health coverage”. (Gavi – The Vaccine Alliance, 2019)
