Kids have a right to vaccinations. Let's bring in the lawyers
Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.

Today @who.int released their 2025 #tuberculosis report, and figures remain unacceptable: 1.2 million children and young adolescents fell ill in 2024, and a staggering 43% were never diagnosed and thus missed lifesaving treatment. Act now to close the deadly gap!

Half of children and young adolescents with tuberculosis are not diagnosed and therefore do not receive lifesaving treatment… but why?
Take a look at the causes of this deadly gap, which we’ll be discussing in next week’s panel discussion.
