154 million lives saved in 50 years. That’s the power of vaccines.

With the progress of science in the 20th century, the development of vaccines was accelerating, but the latter part of the century also gave rise to skepticism and conspiracy theories surrounding vaccines.
While the disease targeted by the first modern-day vaccine, smallpox, has successfully been eradicated, that feat has not been accomplished for polio and tuberculosis yet.

An important message to kick off #WorldImmunizationWeek on the increase in vaccine preventable diseases from WHO, UNICEF and Gavi.
Vaccines are one of humanity's greatest achievements and it is important that we support this field.
Since the 1970s, immunization has saved more than 150 million lives, from diseases like measles, diphtheria, pertussis, and polio. That's more than 4 million lives per year. With immunization for all, anything is possible – #HumanlyPossible. #WorldImmunizationWeek

Immunization at risk: Global health leaders urge action amid rising disease outbreaks http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TKLSN6 #Immunization #PublicHealth #VaccinesWork #WorldImmunizationWeek #HealthForAll
Filoviruses continue to re-emerge in Africa, causing localized public health emergencies. Although vaccination has slowly been implemented for #Ebola virus, holistic approaches are needed to broadly protect against filovirus threats.
The use of #vaccine platform technologies greatly reduces the time and money required to develop a novel vaccine against an infectious disease, but much work is still needed if vaccines are to protect the world from the next pandemic.
Our latest editorial in defense of #vaccines and vaccination introduces two Perspectives on priorities for outbreak vaccination, as well as the important successes of vaccines to date ⬇️
