Because childhood immunization is routine in the United States, most American parents know their children will get the healthiest possible start in life. By contrast, in many developing countries this type of care is not available, so diseases such as maternal and neonatal tetanus persist. UNICEF, the world's leading children's organization, is working toward eliminating this preventable disease.
Just three doses of the tetanus vaccine given to a woman are needed to fully protect her for five years, and her baby for its first two months.
Today I donated 38 vaccines to these women.
