Stigma related to COVID-19 can lead to cases not being reported, more people being exposed to the virus which makes responding to the pandemic more difficult.

People living with #tuberculosis also face discrimination. Stigmatizing people with TB can prevent those most in need from accessing prevention, treatment and care services. It is also socially devastating.

It's time for action! Stand against stigma!

#ZeroDiscrimination
If we want to become a fairer, more equitable world, to tackle climate change & share responsibilities for the future, #VaccinEquity is the first opportunity to demonstrate we can do that. We must start with #ZeroDiscrimination:
