European/World Immunization Week every year provides a good opportunity to remind us of the importance of immunization in protecting children against dangerous and often life threatening disease. Every year, vaccines save the lives of 2-3 million children protecting them from diseases such as measles, polio, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus. New vaccines, advanced technologies and innovative strategies are helping us protect more children than even before. More: http://www.unicef.org/bih/media_25996.html
