This month, we talk about barriers in accessing medical tools needed for disease prevention and explore how we can go about bringing these barriers down.
During World Immunisation Week (24-30 April), we shared the vaccine access and innovation advancements we’d like to see in the years to come to ensure lifesaving vaccines reach more people around the world.
In additional and separate news, on 14 April, we expressed our outrage at an evolving situation in which MSF and the people we care for are unable to access a groundbreaking HIV prevention medicine.
Also in this issue: in Key Term of the Month, we explore a promising new innovation in immunisation – a vaccine without needles and syringes, and in Stories and Voices, we hear from Safia Saleh Mohamed, a mother who brought her children to an MSF-supported diphtheria vaccination campaign in Nigeria, on the importance of childhood vaccination.
