The series features personal stories about the lifesaving impact of vaccines  at home and abroad. Check back here at Vaccines Work this week to read our contributions!</p> <p>We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that vaccines work, but stories can be more powerful and persuasive than statistics. From the Protecting Kids series page:</p> <p><i>This much we know: around the globe, people want their children to have healthy, productive, and full lives. More than anything, they want to protect their kids.</i></p> <p><i>We’ve witnessed the desire to protect a child. We’ve seen how parents and families react when they’re told a miraculous new vaccine can give them the power to fight a disease. The commitment of health workers who will stop at nothing on their quest to deliver it.</i> </p> <p>We hope you’ll celebrate these stories with us – and share your own!
