Problem

Each year six diseases—diphtheria, measles, polio, tetanus, tuberculosis, and whooping cough—kill up to two million children worldwide. Immunization is a cost-effective intervention which can put an end to these needless deaths.

The Gift

Your gift will immunize a child for life against six major childhood diseases—diphtheria, measles, polio, tetanus, tuberculosis, and whooping cough.

UNICEF works with governments and partners to scale up routine immunization services to make full immunization a part of every child’s life. UNICEF is a co-founder of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), a partnership dedicated to strengthening immunization systems and increasing access to new and under-used vaccines. Working through GAVI, UNICEF and other partners have expanded the access of millions of children in the world’s poorest nations to needed vaccines.
