As part of World Immunisation Week, global health expert Rathi Guhadasan explains why childhood immunisation is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect children, both in the UK and around the world. From rising measles cases in the UK to millions of “zero-dose” children who have never received a single vaccine, this conversation explores why immunisation matters globally, how falling vaccination rates put all children at risk, and what parents need to know to make informed decisions. Drawing on her past experience as a clinician and now as Global Health Policy Advisor at Save the Children UK, Rathi shares frontline insights into vaccine-preventable diseases, addresses common concerns about vaccine safety and natural immunity, and explains why access, not just awareness, is one of the biggest barriers to protecting children worldwide.
