110,000 measles cases were reported worldwide in the first three months of 2019—up nearly 300% from the same period last year. This is a crisis. No one should die from a disease that we know how to prevent.
Together,
@UNICEF,
@GaviAlliance, the
@measlesandreubellaintiative, & other partners are helping to address the crisis by:
-Negotiating vaccine prices: the cost of the
#measles vaccine is now at an all-time low
.
-Helping countries identify underserved areas and unreached children
.
-Introducing innovations like the use of solar power and mobile technologies to maintain vaccines at the right temperature
.
-and much more
