“One of the challenges of the fight against
measles, and of immunization in general, is
that you’ve got to keep at it. You’ve got to be
relentless, because children who need to be
protected are born every day. You don’t
vaccinate once. You do it year after year. As
long as you do, children are safe. But when
you stop, children die.”
- William H. Gates, Sr., Co-chair and Trustee of the The Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation
