In the last 50 years, immunization has decreased infant mortality by 40 per cent.

That means more children now reach their 5th birthday than ever before in human history.

We must protect this incredible achievement. A healthier world is #HumanlyPossible . uni.cf/4dbmkjT

The expanded immunization programme over the past 50 years has shown the world what is #HumanlyPossible when all of us scientists, health workers, teachers, parents and the international community come together for a common good.

My message for #WorldImmunizationWeek .

Thanks to vaccinations, more children now survive and thrive past their fifth birthday than at any other point in history.

We must build on the momentum and ensure that every child, everywhere, has access to life-saving immunizations.

#WIW2024 unicef.org/press-releases…

Vaccines have kept us all healthy and safe. They’ve made everything in our lives possible.

Show us what you’re made of. Show us your possible.

#HumanlyPossible

Immunization has saved six lives a minute. Every minute. For five decades.

Let’s not stop now. Speak up and tell leaders it’s time for immunization for all.

Let’s show the world what’s #HumanlyPossible .

Children are still at risk of contracting polio across Africa.

UNICEF is calling on leaders to do what is #HumanlyPossible to reach every child with vaccines.

Protecting Lives, Preventing Diseases: Celebrating World Immunization Week! From April 24th to 30th, join the global effort to promote vaccination and safeguard people of all ages against diseases.

A UNICEF Kenya team was in Wajir County this week to monitor the impact of humanitarian cash transfers given to vulnerable communities.

Thanks to support from UK aid, the cash transfers are helping families to manage their basic household needs & buy hygiene & sanitation items.
