Due to the #COVID19 pandemic, 2⃣3⃣ million children πŸ‘¦πŸ‘§ missed out on basic vaccines through routine immunization services in 2020, increasing by 3.7 million and the highest number since 2009.

More data from WHO & @UNICEF πŸ‘‰bit.ly/3B4150v Image
Without high childhood vaccination rates, countries face risks of multiple disease outbreaks. Spread of diseases like #measles, polio or meningitis could be catastrophic for countries already battling #COVID19.

πŸ‘‰bit.ly/3B4150v #VaccinesWork Image
Up to 1⃣7⃣ million children likely did not receive a single vaccine during last year.

Most of these children πŸ‘§πŸ‘¦ live in conflicted-affected communities, slum areas or under-served remote places. πŸ‘‰bit.ly/3B4150v Image

"The world is at a perilous point in this pandemic.

We have just passed the tragic milestone of 4 million recorded #COVID19 deaths, which likely underestimates the overall toll"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros "Some countries with high vaccination coverage are now planning to rollout booster shots in the coming months and are dropping public health social measures and relaxing as though the #COVID19 pandemic is already over"-@DrTedros

πŸ†• treatment recommendation from WHO:
WHO recommends life-saving interleukin-6 receptor blockers to treat #COVID19 and urges producers to join efforts to rapidly increase access.

πŸ‘‰bit.ly/36gQmld
Interleukin-6 receptor blockers are a class of medicines that are lifesaving in patients who are severely or critically ill with #COVID19, especially when administered alongside corticosteroids.

πŸ‘‰bit.ly/36gQmld
Patients severely or critically ill with #COVID19 often suffer from an overreaction of the immune system, which can be very harmful to the patient’s health. Interleukin-6 blocking drugs – tocilizumab and sarilumab – act to suppress this overreaction.

Limited electricity, lack of fuel, damaged telecommunications equipment, no cellular service = barriers to delivering life-saving health services to people in #Tigray, πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ή. WHO must be able to provide medical supplies for #healthworkers to use in clinics, hospitals.
WHO teams have delivered medical supplies to Abi Addi hospital in #Tigray, πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ή, enabling #healthworkers to give emergency care to patients.
Essential medicines for a range of conditions have been delivered to Hagere Selam, a town in Northern πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ή. It’s one of many health care facilities WHO and partners are supporting to ensure life-saving health services can be restored. #Tigray
