Reaction from Vickie Hawkins, Executive Director of MSF UKLondon, 19 September 2016 - "After years of fighting for children caught in crisis that are suffering from pneumonia and desperately need the vaccine, MSF is relieved to see that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) finally plans to reduce their price for humanitarian organisations.GSK is leading the way in this commitment to children who are experiencing the most horrific of circumstances, while Pfizer continues to hide behind excuses and offer only piecemeal approaches to the humanitarian community," according to Vickie Hawkins, Executive Director of MSF UK."GSK has taken a positive and critical step forward for children in emergencies but our experience tells us that lack of access to life-saving vaccines it is not only specific to crisis contexts but also to the many developing countries who can't afford the vaccine.
