We need political leaders and policymakers to do all they can to make regulatory, policy and investment decisions that ensure the protection of 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

By September 2021, only 2 in 5 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ were fully vaccinated 🌎

We need leaders and policymakers to ensure equitable access to vaccines so health and care workers are prioritized in the uptake of #COVID19 vaccinations

If we protect 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ with early #COVID19 vaccination, they, in turn, can vaccinate, treat and care for people at risk in all countries and ensure that essential health services are maintained

#COVID19 has shown the critical (and often unmet) need for the protective equipment 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ need to safely provide care and reduce the rate of infection in emergency settings.

Every day health care workers everywhere face risks. Not just from #COVID19, but from other people.

#HealthWorkers care for us. Let us care for them.

Be respectful.
Be supportive.
Be kind.

To health care workers of the world:
