#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.

Immunization is a shared responsibility.

If only some people are vaccinated, diseases can still spread, especially to those at highest risk:
✅Infants who are too young to receive vaccines
✅Older adults at risk of serious diseases
✅People with low immunity

#VaccinesWork

Vaccines protect us against harmful diseases like polio & measles, by:
✅Using our body’s natural defenses to protect against infections
✅Training our immune system to create antibodies

This prevents us from getting sick.

#VaccinesWork

Vaccines save lives.

Where it is safe and feasible, we must ensure children continue to get immunized during the #COVID19 pandemic to protect them from other deadly diseases like meningitis.

Millions of children around the 🌍 will likely miss out on lifesaving 💉 due to #COVID19.

To combat the resurgence of other deadly diseases, we must continue delivering vaccines where we can and ⬆️ immunization once this outbreak is under control.

As we respond to #COVID19, now more than ever, we must ensure the continuation of essential health services like immunization Syringe, to stop vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, polio & meningitis.

#VaccinesWork

During emergencies like #COVID19, the risk of outbreaks like measles & polio increases.

#VaccinesWork to help keep us safe, keep us out of hospitals and protect our health workers.

Q: When should I get vaccinated?

A: Vaccines protect us throughout life. Don’t wait until you are exposed to a serious illness like during an outbreak. There may not be enough time to receive all the doses needed to keep you safe.

#VaccinesWork

Any licensed vaccine undergoes many tests, involving thousands of healthy people for many years before it’s approved.

Vaccines are continuously monitored to make sure they are safe and effective.
