Thanks to vaccines, global #polio infections have been reduced to only a few hundred cases each year. We now have a chance of making this disease, and the threat of other deadly diseases, history. #VaccinesWork to bring us closer.
The systems created to deliver #polio vaccines to the hardest-to-reach areas of the world are also helping polio workers find #COVID19 cases, trace contacts and practice safety measures to slow the spread of the virus.

#VaccinesWork Image
The pandemic interrupted lifesaving vaccination campaigns. Now that #polio vaccination has resumed, the #polio programme is committed to overcoming setbacks, protecting communities from #COVID19, and ending polio for all.

#VaccinesWork Image
Vaccines are one of the best tools we have to ensure health and prosperity for communities worldwide.

#VaccinesWork to bring us closer.

#WorldImmunizationWeek
Universal access to vaccines gives people a fair shot at a healthier future, free from the threat of preventable disease.

"Globally, the #COVID19 pandemic continues to intensify. Cases have now increased for the 9th straight week, & deaths have increased for the 6th straight week. To put it in perspective, there were almost as many cases 🌍 last week as in the 1st 5 months of the pandemic"-@DrTedros
"It’s pleasing to see small declines in cases and deaths in several regions, but many countries are still experiencing intense #COVID19 transmission, and the situation in #India is beyond heartbreaking"-@DrTedros #InThisTogether
