I am a Vaccine Ambassador because...

all people, particularly children and other vulnerable populations, deserve access to vaccines, regardless of their socioeconomic or cultural background. Vaccines prevent devastating disease that are otherwise preventable and ultimately improve our quality of life individually and collectively.
