Many children are left behind & haven’t received any vaccine – these are the zero dose #children . Large numbers of under-five children missed basic vaccines in #Zambia ; 💔43,300 in 2020 💔156,399 in 2021 💔324,619 in 2022 💔121,416 in 2023. #VaccinesSaveLives #HumanlyPossible 🚼

One child without vaccination in every family is one child too many! It's time for action to ensure all children receive life-saving vaccines.' Dr. F.D. Mwansa emphasises the lack of basic vaccines among under-five #children in #Zambia . #AfricaVaccinationWeek #VaccinesSaveLives

50 Years of Safe Vaccines = Strong Communities! 💪

Preventing diseases through immunisation is more than just health - it's about breaking the cycle of poverty and boosting economic development.

A Strong and health community is #HumanlyPossible

Dr. PennyUNICEF's message is crystal clear: GET YOUR CHILD VACCINATED TODAY! 💔It's heartbreaking to know that not every child in #Zambia is fully protected against preventable diseases. Let's ensure every child reaches their full potential - ACT NOW! #VaccinesSaveLives #AVW2024

The success of immunisation programme is crucial for achieving Universal Health Coverage. Hon. Hon. Sylvia Masebo emphasised the importance of #CommunityEngagement in launching #AVW2024 to address vaccine hesitancy & promote access to life-saving vaccines in our communities.

Africa Vaccination Week kicks off! Celebrating 50 years of life-saving immunisation programmes worldwide. “More children now live to see their first birthday & beyond than at any other time in human history!” highlights PennyUNICEF at the launch. #LongLifeForAll #HumanlyPossible

A world where every child survives and thrives, thanks to life-saving vaccines. 🌍🌍
It is #HumanlyPossible to make that a reality.

Together, we can. #AfricaVaccinationWeek

“My ultimate goal is to ensure that #children have the chance to grow & thrive without being burdened by disease or poor health. Passionate about improving child healthcare, I find immense excitement in playing a significant role in achieving this vision,” Dr. Francis D. Mwansa.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking on behalf of the UN with #ZNBC on how the UN family stands in solidarity with the people of #Zambia and is supporting the GRZ #drought response appeal. #ClimateChange is real! Emergency and longer-term resilience actions are needed now!

Cholera cases may be decreasing in Lusaka, but the Copperbelt province is seeing an increase. Thanks to @Gavi & International Coordinating Group for Vaccine Provision, #Zambia received 335K+ vaccine doses to #ProtectOurCommunities . #CholeraPrevention starts with the #3CsforHealth

Concerning spike in new cases in Copperbelt, Central & Southern provinces. Immediate support NEEDED to improve access to clean water & promote good hygiene practices to curb the spread! #PublicHealthEmergency 💧 #Zambia . Read the full #cholera flash report bit.ly/3W43KnP
