OPEN SOURCE ARTICLES BY TONY BURTON

The recent death of Anthony Burton is an occasion for posting some of his most recent open source articles.

Tony was best known for building up, with the support of national and UNICEF colleagues, the global database of national and WHO/UNICEF estimates of vaccination coverage. Without this solid database, progress towards regional and global coverage objectives would have been impossible to track.
