What a delight to meet some of the most powerful champions for children–the children and youth themselves.

They are key to achieving the #SDGs and the rights of children.

It's a human right.

Last year, 84% of children were reached with life-saving vaccines.

But to protect more lives, we can and must do better.

Join UNICEF in calling on world leaders to invest in immunization services and help #BuildBackImmunity.

[UNICEF Angola @UNICEFAngola]

Community health workers went door-to-door to identify zero-dose #children and to register them in the program to be vaccinated.

We remain deeply appreciative of the efforts of our workers behind routine #immunizations.

Global childhood immunization rates appear to be bouncing back after pandemic disruptions.

Yet progress in countries like India and Indonesia masks a grave threat. This is why.

Childhood immunization begins promising recovery after COVID-19 related backslide. However, improvements are uneven and low-income countries trail behind.

It is time to address longstanding systemic challenges, and ensure all missed children are caught up with full vaccination.

New HIV infections in 2022 were the fewest in decades.

There is a clear path to #endAIDS by2030.

It is a political & financial choice.

🚽 Toilets matters.

According to the latest @UNICEF-@WHO report, 3.4 billion people lacked access to safe sanitation in 2022.

Governments must prioritize investing in proper waste management systems to prevent the spread of diseases in children. https://t.co/0aCXLTFomO

[Laura Kerr @LauraMAKerr]

Excited to see this kind of strong partnership across foundations, multilaterals, government and the UN to ensure children have access to many life saving and improving services at the same time.

We're proud of our partnership with @CIFFchild to reach #zerodosechildren through an integrated immunisation, nutrition, and social protection programme in Ethiopia. The initiative, implemented by @UNICEF, will help address the dual burden of malnutrition and infectious disease:

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

Since 2000, the @Gavi Alliance has protected an entire generation of children from potentially fatal diseases. A life-changing milestone! Yet the job is far from done.

As a founding and core Alliance partner, @UNICEF is committed to ensuring routine vaccinations #ForEveryChild.

[Laura Kerr @LauraMAKerr]

What a brilliant way to celebrate 1 billion children reached with vaccines by @gavi

[Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance @gavi]

Thank you @uwezakenya for sharing your incredible talent with us at the Global Vaccine Impact Conference. We appreciate your art as a celebration of the life-saving power of immunisation! #VaccinesWork #GenerationImmunity

[Laura Kerr @LauraMAKerr]

Love these powerful words being shared at the Gavi Vaccine Impact Conference.

Power of vaccines is undeniable.

[Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance @gavi]

“Let all humanity vaccinate themselves from deadly disease and viruses, to preserve the course of humanity” - watch spoken word artist Makida El-Husseini’s poem on the lifesaving power of immunisation: https://t.co/3V8Z2z8N46 #GenerationImmunity #VaccinesWork

“We need to ensure we make the required investment to strengthen health systems so that we'll be able to reach those children. Most prominently invest in community health workers for #PHC,” says Ephrem Tekle Lemango, @UNICEF, at @gavi’s Global Vaccine Impact Conference

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Good news.

A record number of children suffering from severe malnutrition accessed life-saving treatment last year because of timely funding.

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

The only way to get back on track towards meeting the 2030 development goals is by putting children at the heart of our collective efforts to achieve the #SDGs by prioritizing their rights and well-being.
