The World Health Organisation on Wednesday called on the countries in its Southeast Asia region to accelerate action to protect all children with lifesaving vaccines being offered under the childhood immunisation programme, focusing on those who have missed all or some doses, and protect all adolescent girls from cervical cancer.
