UNICEF runs vaccination campaigns around the world. We've been reporting on some of them recently -- in Afghanistan, in Indonesia... The campaigns are tailored to the locations, but one thing always seems to be the same: kids don't enjoy them. Here's three-month-old Vishal, crying as he's vaccinated against polio, at a community health center in India's Rajasthan State.

Forty percent of the world's children receive immunizations through UNICEF's leadership. That's a lot of tears, but also a lot of young lives saved.

Tears need to be shed for lives to be saved. Immunisation through Unicef is therefore necessary. Public education programmes need to continue to raise the benefits of the immunisation programme.
