Vaccinating children not only protects their health but also protects their family’s wealth! For every $1 invested in vaccine programs, vaccination returns $21 in saved healthcare costs, lost wages and lost productivity. #VaccinesWork https://t.co/T7vHxqiFor @IVACtweets

Some vaccine wastage is inevitable. So how can you be sure you have the right amount of vaccines, to avoid stock-outs and overstocking?
Learn how to calculate the wastage so that you can order enough vaccine to immunize everyone in your target population. https://t.co/X9LuPKmwCV

A vaccine shipment containing one month of stock requirement is delivered from the district vaccine store to your health facility. Now it is up to you to make sure the vaccines are kept at the right temperatures.

Ebola vaccines need to be kept at -70°C and so require ultra-cold chain storage. A global emergency stockpile of 500,000 doses of Ebola vaccine, funded by Gavi and managed by @WHO, @MSF, @UNICEF and @ifrc will be available to all countries for outbreak response!

[Immunization Academy @ImmunAcademy]

Vaccine Vial Monitors (VVMs) give health workers a quick way to determine if a vaccine has been exposed to too much heat, is likely damaged, and should be discarded. Watch this short video to learn how to read VVMs for better vaccine stock management:

Vaccine IQ Booster! HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection & can lead to the development of cancers like cervical cancer. Almost every sexually active person will contract some form of HPV in their lives, so @cdc recommends vaccinations for everyone aged 9 to 26

[Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance @gavi]

All vaccines work by exposing the body to molecules from the target pathogen to trigger an immune response – but the method of exposure varies. Here’s how whole virus vaccines work: https://t.co/GsPai0KQF1

[UNICEF Nigeria @UNICEF_Nigeria]

For every US $1 spent on immunization, there's an average return of $26 from savings on health care and lost revenues due to illness across a child’s lifetime.

UNICEF is committed to the safe, fast and efficient delivery of #COVID19 vaccines when they’re approved.
