Immunization

MAIN TEXT
(GRADES 7-11)


A Final Word

The gains made by the EPI need to be sustained. This is dependent on the national and international will. Public awareness for immunization, increased coverage, and adding new sources of funding need to be given priority. Immunization coverage needs to be desegregated and not limited to those who can afford it.
