At Shot@Life we talk a lot about mothers and children, but this Father’s Day, we’re turning our attention to Dads, who also play a vital role in their kids’ health and happiness.
So what do the co-creator of Games of Thrones, a U.S. Paralympian, actress Zoe Saldana’s husband, and a Tanzanian pediatrician have in common? They believe that children everywhere should have a healthy start in life through access to vaccines.
