This World Immunization Week, it is good to be reminded that vaccines have saved over 154 millions in 50 years. That’s 6 lives every minute, every day, for more than 5 decades.

#WorldImmunizationWeek

[Shot@Life @ShotAtLife]

Vaccines are one of the greatest medical inventions of all time. They've saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years alone.

That’s one life saved every 10 seconds.

But it’s up to us to make sure every child, no matter where they live, is protected.

At @unfoundation we thank 🇨🇦’s continued leadership to #EndPolio with this $151M CAD pledge to the GPEI. This will help immunize 370M children annually in vulnerable regions.

Aidan O’Leary, @WHOPolDirector, started to work for polio eradication when he came to #Pakistan during some very difficult years for polio in the country. Here he shares one of his most defining experiences of meeting a child in Peshawar suffering from abject poverty - and polio

[Dr. Shahzad Baig @CoordinatorNeoc]

NEOC attracts top global experts. This #WorldPolioDay, @Dr_HamidJafari shares his meeting with a little girl, whose mother dressed her up to meet a ‘doctor from America’, to cure her child of polio. He couldn't, because no one can. But this little girl shaped his work & purpose.

We stand on the threshold to #MakePolioHistory.

It was my honour to join @vonderleyen, @wernerhoyer, @BillGates and @unicefchief for the announcement of the new financing mechanism of €1.1 billion for health, including €500 million for polio eradication.

[WHO Polio @WHO_Polio]

Great to see #G20 leaders echo the commitment of their health ministers to “continue progress towards polio eradication”. We need the support. Together, we can #EndPolio. 👉https://t.co/GnWMettsHi

[United Nations Foundation @unfoundation]

84% of the world’s children were vaccinated in 2022.

This is a giant step toward reaching pre-pandemic levels.

But there’s still a ways to go to prevent future outbreaks — and save more lives.

What really went wrong in the pandemic? It wasn’t distribution of countermeasures, it was power imbalance and greed. - @yodifiji

What role for @WHO to help overcome those imbalances so no one is left behind?

#OpenBriefing #WHA76

[United Nations Foundation @unfoundation]

The world is “tantalizingly close” to ending polio.

But outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and around the world are a growing cause for international concern.

Thank you @AndrewmitchMP for becoming a Polio Gender Champion. Women at all levels have been the driving force behind polio eradication efforts and your support and commitment will help tackle gender-related barriers in our fight to #EndPolio for good.

Las mujeres son imprescindibles para erradicar la polio y desempeñan un papel fundamental en los programas de vacunación. Muchas gracias por el compromiso y apoyo de España @BorjaCabezon @MAECgob @SpainUN @sanidadgob @unfoundation #Endpolio #vaccinework #Genderequality

[Borja Cabezón @BorjaCabezon]

En NY @MAECgob @sanidadgob @luxembourgmega @SpainUN @unfoundation #GPEI hemos tenido Reunión Alto Nivel para reivindicar el importante rol crítico de la mujer en la vacunación de los niños y en fortalecimiento sistemas sanitarios #VaccineWork #EndPolio #GenderEquality

Antimicrobial resistance simply explained. #WAAW2022 #AMR

[United Nations Foundation @unfoundation]

Antimicrobial resistance is a complicated topic.

So we asked an expert to explain it in simple terms.

Here's what you should know about this growing health threat.

Watch. 🎬 https://t.co/velu0vFGPb

These are the women who really change the world ❤️#Endpolio

[Dr Hamid Jafari @Dr_HamidJafari]

Women are making extraordinary contributions to polio eradication efforts across our Region. Meet five women who’re leading innovative initiatives for the programme and pushing boundaries to ensure every child has access to vaccines. https://t.co/ER9Tv2sDh4

Wise words from @Dr_HamidJafari. Thanks Ambassador @CaroleLanteri for being so passionate about polio, for your long-standing commitment as well as for your great role as polio gender champion. #Endpolio

[Dr Hamid Jafari @Dr_HamidJafari]

Thank you Ambassador Lanteri. You have remained a long-standing and firm supporter of polio eradication and you have encouraged us to do more and better to #EndPolio

[Patricia Chacon @patchaconsierra]

Love being part of this wonderful team! @kris_tsau @oumoudao_ @j_stratmann & Houng Le. Thanks @BMZ_Bund and GIZ for your partnership. Together we will #EndPolio

[Kris Tsau @kris_tsau]

Delighted to share a literal warm-fuzzy moment with amazing colleagues @patchaconsierra @oumoudao_ & Johanna and Huong from the @BMZ_Bund team who worked so hard over this past year to raise $2.6 billion to #EndPolio at #WHS2022

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

I’m bear-y honored to receive this adorable bear carrying such an urgent message: #EndPolio. As countries convene for the polio pledging moment, it’s vital they heed this bear’s message and commit to consigning polio to history.

[Kris Tsau @kris_tsau]

Thank you @PatConroy1 for continuing Australia's investment in a polio free 🌏 and for recognizing the work of #Rotary volunteers in efforts to #EndPolio!

[Bundesentwicklungsministerium @BMZ_Bund]

A 🌍 without polio is becoming possible! The #EndPolio donor conference at the #WHS in Berlin mobilised 2.6 billion $ for the fight against polio. Using the money the international community wants to defeat this disease by 2026, immunising 370 million children.

[CDC Director @CDCDirector]

As a core partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), CDC is committed to achieving a polio-free world. It is critical that global partners continue to support GPEI and work together to #EndPolio.
