Organization of the session A. Election of officers of the Executive Board 1. On 18 January 2012, the Executive Board elected as President H.E. Mr. John W. Ashe, Permanent Representative of Antigua and Barbuda to the United Nations; and as Vice-Presidents, H.E. Mrs. Byrganym Aitimova, Permanent Representative of Kazakhstan to the United Nations, H.E. Mr. Macharia Kamau, Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations, Ms. Nina Nordström, Minister Counsellor at the Permanent Mission of Finland to the United Nations and Ms. Karin Kaup, Second Secretary at the Permanent Mission of Estonia to the United Nations. B. Opening statements by the President and Executive Director 2. The President of the Executive Board welcomed the participants. He exhorted the Executive Board members to ensure that the work during this year provided valuable guidance to UNICEF in its efforts to improve the well-being of all children, leaving no child out. He noted that the work of the Board in 2012 would benefit from discussions and new thinking surrounding some of the main global and United Nations conferences and initiatives, including the process for the quadrennial comprehensive policy review (QCPR) of operational activities for development of the United Nations system, and planning for post-2015. Fundamental to these discussions was the issue of sustainable development, which he said, required “big picture” thinking, emphasizing equity and addressing some challenging issues shaping children’s lives well into the future. He urged those present to work with Governments to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and impressed upon donors the strong need of UNICEF for contributions to regular resources. 3. In his opening remarks, the Executive Director highlighted several emergency operations supported by UNICEF, drawing attention to the dire conditions in the Horn of Africa and the nutrition crisis in the Sahel region. 4. The main theme of his remarks was innovation. This, he said, was critical to the strength of UNICEF, to the success of the equity strategy and to achieving greater results for children. Citing examples in each area, he noted that innovation was helping UNICEF to accelerate progress across the organization, in programmes, products, processes and partnerships. Examples ranged from the use of SMS technology, with the participation of children and youths, to the creation of innovative products to improve children’s health, to the organization-wide implementation of VISION (Virtual Integrated System of Information). 5. He said that in 2011, UNICEF had focused much of its attention on equity, especially on ways to identify and overcome bottlenecks to progress. This focus entailed advocating equitable social-sector investment for children, working closely with the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. 6. One innovation that would command significant attention in 2012, he said, was the new monitoring framework of UNICEF, the Monitoring Results for Equity System (MoRES), formerly known as the “Cup”.

We write to bring to your attention an alarming study, published this year, which found that children vaccinated with DTP were 10 times more likely to die in the first six months of life than those children that were unvaccinated.1 A copy of this study is enclosed. Dr. Peter Aaby, the lead author of this study, is renowned for studying and promoting vaccines in Africa with over 300 published studies.2 Dr. Aaby, after concluding that children vaccinated with DTP were 10 times more likely to die in the first 6 months of life than the unvaccinated, states: “All currently available evidence suggests that DTP vaccine may kill more children from other causes than it saves from diphtheria, tetanus or pertussis.”3 1 A copy of this study can also be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5360569/ 2 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=PETER+AABY%5BAuthor+-+Full%5D 3 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5360569/ Page 1 of 3 This study also found that children vaccinated with DTP were dying from causes never associated with this vaccine, such as respiratory infections, diarrhea, and malaria.4 This indicated that while DTP reduced the incidence of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, it increased susceptibility to other infections.5 Unlike most vaccine safety studies in which subjects are not well matched, Dr.
