VACCINES: HUMANITARIAN MECHANISM • A new humanitarian mechanism for vaccines has been used for the first time in Europe • MSF vaccinated refugee children in Greece with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine at an affordable price • More vaccines must be included in the humanitarian mechanism
MSF’s Access Campaign brings down barriers that keep people from getting the treatment they need to stay alive and healthy. We advocate for effective drugs, tests and vaccines that are: • available, • affordable, • suited to the people we care for, and • adapted to the places where they live.
