Five decades ago, millions of children died of diseases such as measles, polio & diphtheria with few having access to life-saving vaccines. The Expanded Programme on Immunization saved 154M lives in 5 decades.
Join us in saving more lives with vaccines. It’s #HumanlyPossible .
#ImmunizationForAll can protect us from preventable diseases. 🇦🇺 together with the 🇱🇦 Ministry of Health, World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF Laos & Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance celebrated #ImmunizationWeek & announced a measles & rubella vaccination campaign to provide Lao children with better protection
Measles cases are rising- and vaccine misinformation is one of the reasons why.
➡️ Although there is no specific antiviral treatment for the disease, the measles vaccine protects you.
➡️Get vaccinated! It is safe and effective.
