We were keen to try it, so we approached our Director of Finance. They agreed to donate money for every flu vaccine that our staff received. “Once staff knew that getting a flu jab would also help children get life-saving vaccinations, more of them were keen to have the jab. Some staff – who hadn’t received their flu vaccination before – not only ended up changing their mind, but actually became advocates for the flu jab. We raised £750, which could help vaccinate thousands of children. I would really recommend getting involved in Get a Jab, Give a Jab if you haven’t already. It’s such a simple, worthwhile thing to do.

Build capacity and knowledge In Afghanistan, Unicef has started working with girls who have just left school, training them to become community health workers. Deliver vaccines Vaccination heroes travel with specialist equipment across all terrain – by foot, bicycle or donkey – to reach the most remote villages and save children’s lives. Act fast in emergencies Our experience means we can respond quickly to the threat of disease following an emergency – swiftly transporting essential vaccines from our supply hubs and distributing to the affected communities. Provide reliable information In the Philippines we have devised a highly successful communications campaign for social media, using high-profile influencers to target mothers with pro-vaccine messages. Innovate Unicef is launching its first ever ‘drone and data academy’ in Malawi, aiming to certify 150 students to build and pilot drones. We hope to use drones to deliver vaccines, blood supplies, and medicines to very remote areas. WHAT YOU COULD ACHIEVE MALI’S VACCINATION HEROES WELCOME WHY GET INVOLVED WHAT WE DO WHAT YOU COULD ACHIEVE HOW WE DO IT VACCINES IN MALI RESOURCES HOW TO PAY IN THANK YOU MALI’S VACCINATION HEROES In Mali’s increasingly volatile central region of Mopti, fewer than 4 in 10 children are fully vaccinated. Fear, conflict and a partial ban on travelling by motorcycle make it difficult to reach health centres, which can be over 10 miles away. To make matters worse, there is only one qualified doctor per every 18,000 people – far below WHO’s recommended standards. Faced with these logistical challenges, Unicef uses donkey and horse carts to bring vaccines directly to isolated children. Vaccine hero Mamadou travels by donkey cart for up to 8 hours in the hot sun, with vaccines stored in portable cool boxes to keep them at the correct temperature. WHATEVER IT TAKES Mamadou travels by donkey cart to deliver his life-saving vaccines RESOURCE FOR PRESS AND COMMS © Unicef/Keïta The money raised by your Get a Jab, Give a Jab scheme will not only help buy life-saving vaccines – it will help ensure our vaccine heroes can deliver vaccines safely and securely, by whatever means necessary.

If you would like to change anything, please contact supportercare@unicef.org.uk Power of vaccines: In 2017, the global number of children vaccinated was 116.2 million – the highest ever reported. Vaccines protect children against disease and death, saving up to three million lives every year – that’s more than five lives saved every minute of every day. Globally, 1.5 million deaths could be avoided every year if children were vaccinated. Scale of the problem: Almost 20 million children will not receive their most basic vaccines this year. About 40% (almost 8 million) of infants missing out on life-saving vaccines live in areas affected by conflict or disaster. Since January 2019 there have been more than 360,000 measles cases reported in over 180 countries – the highest rate in 13 years.
