WH Y GE T IN VO LVED
Cambridgeshire Community Service Trust tell us
how they raised enough money to help vaccinate
thousands of children.
“We kept hearing about Get a Jab, Give a Jab at National
Flu meetings and on the Infection Prevention Society
forums. 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.

We tailor vaccination services to the
specific needs of communities and
remove the obstacles that prevent
children from receiving life-saving
vaccines.

Since 1980, we have helped to
quadruple vaccination rates for
children worldwide, saving up to 3
million children’s lives every year.

Procure vaccines
Unicef’s Supply Division headquarters in Copenhagen,
Denmark is the largest humanitarian warehouse in the
world, serving children across the world.
Keep vaccines cool
Unicef invests in cold and supply chain infrastructure and
helps establish the use of solar power, mobile technology
and biometrics to keep vaccines – and children – safe.

UNICEF works with partners in government, other
UN agencies and the private sector to provide
vaccinations for the children who need it the most.
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.

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

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.
