Vaccines must reach every child. Let’s protect children in Africa.

We must do whatever is #HumanlyPossible to protect every child from vaccine preventable diseases.

The UNICEF Namibia Country Director, Mr Samuel Ocran paid a visit to H.E Ana Beatriz Martins, EU in Namibia Amb last week. Both parties acknowledged their enthusiasm to continue with the current collaboration on ECD & look at new avenues for partnership for youth related activities

Vaccines are the key to growing up strong and healthy. For generations, they’ve helped children play, learn and explore safely together - free from infectious diseases.

Vaccines have 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. #HumanlyPossible

154 million lives saved through immunization.
That’s 6 lives a minute for 5 decades.
Amazing.

And though you probably don’t remember the exact moment you were immunized, you’re part of this incredible achievement.

Tell leaders to invest in vaccines today. #HumanlyPossible
