Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) has called on government to increase funding for child immunisation amidst the US funding freeze which has crippled programs and left millions of children vulnerable.

KEWOPA said the government's delay in fulfilling its co-financing obligations could lead to severe vaccine shortages and jeopardize child health nationwide.
