Nurses & midwives - every check-up is an opportunity to check in on vaccination for people of all ages: children, youth, adults and older people.

#COVID19 is confronting families globally with the deadly and devastating impacts of disease outbreaks.

In the midst of this crisis, we must also work to ensure all people are protected against diseases for which we have vaccines to prevent.

#VaccinesWork for all!
Immunization is a shared responsibility.

If only some people are vaccinated, diseases can still spread, especially to those at highest risk:

Vaccines protect us against harmful diseases like polio & measles, by:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="White heavy check mark" aria-label="Emoji: White heavy check mark">Using our body’s natural defenses to protect against infections

It’s #WorldMalariaDay!

1 year ago, Malawi became the 1st country in the world to introduce a #malaria vaccine to young children through routine immunization as part of a landmark pilot programme in Ghana, Kenya & Malawi

To date, a total of 275K children have received the 1st dose of the RTS,S #malaria vaccine across the 3 countries in the pilot programme.

RTS,S is the 1st and only vaccine to have significantly reduced malaria in children.

When Lordina was 5-month old, she became sick with #malaria. Her mother, Vida, had to sponge bathe her to try to bring her temperature down. Last year, she became one of the 1st children in Ghana to receive the RTS,S malaria vaccine through routine immunization.

Q: What’s in a vaccine?

A: All ingredients in a vaccine help ensure they are safe & effective. Vaccine ingredients can look unfamiliar on a label, but they occur naturally in the human body, the natural environment and the food we eat.
