Tetanus is a swift and painful killer disease that kills thousands of newborns and women every year. When women are given two doses of tetanus immunization they are protected from the disease for three years. Five doses protect them for life. A recent campaign in Yemen aimed to reduce the number of cases of maternal and neonatal tetanus by immunizing women of child-bearing age. © UNICEF Yemen/2010/Rasha Al-Ardi

India, 2017: (Standing at centre) Naazma Begum, a rag picker, is a staunch vaccine advocate in her close-knit, urban slum community – where most mothers do not understand the long-term health benefits of immunization. Today, a growing number of unvaccinated children live in poor, densely populated urban communities, where immunization coverage is limited. India’s immunization programme reaches about 26 million children nationwide with vaccines covering 12 diseases. #VaccinesWork.

SAN DIEGO (Oct. 5, 2020) Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Nicole Walton, a Sailor assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD), receives a flu vaccine Oct. 5. Hospital Corpsmen and Sailors manned outdoor shot stations to efficiently process patients as they received their flu vaccinations. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way many facets of healthcare are conducted, and NMCSD's immunization clinic has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality healthcare they’ve come to expect. NMCSD’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMCSD employs more than 6,000 active duty military personnel, civilians and contractors in Southern California to provide patients with world-class care anytime, anywhere.

Côte d'Ivoire, 2020: Christelle, 3 months, is vaccinated in Gonzagueville. To protect the most vulnerable children from the impact of coronavirus, global coordination is urgently needed to prevent this health crisis from becoming a child-rights crisis. Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic is claiming lives and livelihoods as health systems buckle, borders close and families struggle. Communities across the globe are rising to the challenge – from health workers risking their lives to fight the virus, to young people deploying innovative ways to share public health messages. Yet, even as the spread of the virus slows in some countries, its social toll will come fast and at the expense of the most vulnerable children.

This week, the Pipeline Community Health Center in Monrovia, Liberia, is working to resume routine immunizations that have been put on hold due to the Ebola epidemic. The effort is part of a nationwide campaign led by Liberia's Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW), and supported by UNICEF, known as the periodic intensification of routine immunization, or PIRI, which aims to rapidly reduce the number of children not immunized against measles. In Liberia, government data shows that monthly measles immunization coverage against target dropped from 71% in May 2014 to 55% in October 2014.
As cases of Ebola are falling in Liberia, health workers are encouraging parents to bring in their children in order to catch up on the mixed vaccinations. Dr. Rebecca Varney, the officer in charge of the Pipeline Community Health Center, said that some children coming in are 22 months old but have not completed their vaccinations.
Varney also noted the risk of unimmunized children spreading measles to other children in school, as well as the importance of vaccinations as schools prepare to reopen. "Children would come down with measles and the parents would not notice, and would send them to school…and it would pass on to other children." At this time if we can vaccinate the children to prevent them from getting measles, it will be so much better for our school system and other children will not get infected.

Ukraine, 2019: Twins Vitalina and Yuliana Kechur, 6, wait to be vaccinated in the Lapaivka village school in Lviv region, western Ukraine, worst hit by a recent measles outbreak. UNICEF supports a government immunization drive in schools and clinics in the region, where vaccination rates are low. An alarming global surge in measles cases poses a growing threat to children. The largest increase in the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease from 2017 to 2018 was in Ukraine.

Since 1987, the Extended Program on Immunization in Bangladesh has saved the lives of more than 3.5 million children . It has led to the eradication of poliomyelitis and the elimination of neonatal tetanus, and has possibly made the biggest contribution towards Bangladesh's achievement of Millennium Development Goal 4 well ahead of schedule. At least 95% of the 157 million people living in this country have access to vaccines - this in a country where only around 60% of the population has access to the power grid, that sees annual floods, and that has a challenging road transport system and high levels of corruption. This has made Bangladesh's vaccine delivery system a role model for delivering effective interventions in resource-poor settings. This successful story cannot be pinned down on any one crucial factor, but it is rather a result of the development of an effective system involving collaboration between multiple dedicated blocks of society – from front line workers to politicians to journalists.
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) Immunization Clinic personnel administered a COVID-19 vaccination to the first East Coast waterfront Sailor, Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Blair Taylor, Dec. 21. Taylor is assigned to USS San Antonio (LPD 17) as the ship’s Health Services Department leading chief petty officer and Surface Fleet Independent Duty Corpsman (SFIDC). The voluntary vaccination falls within the DoD phased approach to prioritize mission-essential healthcare personnel in receiving the vaccine. NMCP was one of the first Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) to receive a shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine Dec. 15, and they have been providing vaccinations to healthcare workers assigned to the medical center. As the U.S. Navy's oldest, continuously-operating military hospital since 1830, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth proudly serves past and present military members and their families. The nationally-acclaimed, state-of-the-art medical center, along with the area's 10 branch health and TRICARE Prime Clinics, provide care for the Hampton Roads area.

India, 2018: Health workers providing Measles-Rubella vaccinations in hard-to-reach and remote areas make their way across a hanging bridge in Arunachal Pradesh State. Around the world, hundreds of millions of children and adults lack access to quality, affordable health services. Access to community-focused primary health care is key to keeping every child alive and thriving, to promoting health and well-being and to achieving universal health coverage.
