“Urgent action is needed to address the skyrocketing price to vaccinate a child, which has risen by 2,700 percent over the last decade. Countries where we work will lose their donor support to pay for vaccines soon, and will have to decide which killer diseases they can and can’t afford to protect their children against." - said Dr. Manica Balasegaram, Executive Director of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières Access Campaign
