Developing Countries: Vaccination
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps are being taken to support vaccination programmes in developing countries.
Answered by Chris Elmore
Supporting vaccination and immunisation, preventing and treating disease, and preparing for pandemics and epidemics, are all crucial elements of the UK's global health programmes, working alongside organisations like Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; the World Health Organisation; the Global Fund; UNAIDS; the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention; and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations.
Our work in those different areas cannot adequately be summarised in the answer to one parliamentary question, but the Hon Member can find regular updates about that work by following the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office news feed on GOV.UK, and by continuing to attend our statements, oral questions sessions and urgent question responses in the House.
