Description:Immunization programs are the entry point into primary health care in many countries, often providing the only access for mothers and young children. However, immunization programs in resource-poor countries face many barriers to success, including shortages of vaccines, untrained staff and supervisors, and unreliable power supply. The result:
Each year almost 22 million children miss life- saving vaccines, leaving them vulnerable to disability and death from preventable diseases.
If immunization programs do not reach these children, they are also unlikely to receive other preventive health services.
