Highlights

Immunization does not simply raise the chances that children will resist disease: it virtually guarantees that they will. But millions of children remain unimmunized, and each year 1.4 million children under five die from diseases that are entirely preventable. This volume of Progress for Children reports on immunization, a key to the Millennium Development Goal of reducing child mortality.
