Immunization is one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

But there are still places where people don’t have access to vaccines. Speak up and tell leaders it’s time for immunization for all.

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

#AfricaVaccinationWeek comes to a close today.

Themed 'The Big Catch Up', UNICEF SA Rep Christine Muhigana highlights the importance of immunization #ForEveryChild .

''The Big Catch Up' speaks to the need to reach every child with vaccines so they're protected from deadly diseases.'

Fun was had and connections were made among 87 teens at the UNICEF #SportForDevelopment Training Camp within the Girls and Boys Education Movement (GBEM)👧⚽🧑.

The group learned how to develop their agency, improve their leadership skills,

As part of #AfricaVaccinationWeek awareness activities, UNICEF's #TheTruck 🚚 was out & about in the North West province’s Madibeng district.

Health workers were on the ground engaging communities📢 as people watched messages promoting the effectiveness of immunisations. 💉

Annual deaths of children under five reached a historic low, falling to 4.9 million in 2022.

This is a notable achievement, but more is needed.

Together, we can prevent child deaths by improving health services and families’ access to them.

Sometimes, humanity gets it right, like global immunisation programmes.

Governments, aid agencies, scientists, health workers & volunteers got us to where we are today by working together.

We’ve shown the world what’s possible, we can show it again.

A child who isn't vaccinated or isn't vaccinated on time remains unprotected and has increased chances of getting seriously ill.

Though you probably don’t remember the exact moment you were immunised, you’re helping to prevent the spread of illnesses to others – especially children in need.

But, for us all to be truly safe, we must reach everyone with vaccines.
