Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance helps vaccinate half the world’s children against deadly and debilitating diseases. #VaccinesWork #ForOurFuture
In Northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region, conflict stole years of childhood vaccinations, allowing some diseases which have long been under control to return.

Now health workers working to protect the children who remain unvaccinated and vulnerable.

More than half a billion children in 41 African countries have been reached through routine immunisation with Gavi support over the past 25 years.

Here’s a snapshot of what collaboration can achieve: bit.ly/3LZDGaA

"I used to warn people about disease outbreaks but I knew little on how to protect myself and what that meant for my community." - Chiku Abdallah, 20

Now, she serves 15 households daily , helping detect disease early with diagnostic tools, checking vitals and providing health education.

After the outbreak waned, Tanzania decided to act by transforming their community healthcare. Now, 3,600 newly-trained community health workers are serving their communities equipped with tablets, blood pressure monitors and real-time reporting systems.

Tanzania's Marburg outbreak earlier this year was a wake-up call, and Community Health Workers sounded the alarm. But these frontline workers weren't yet equipped to make maximum impact. Here's how that's changed 👇🧵

In December 2022 Gavi set an ambitious target of reaching 86 million girls with the HPV vaccine by the end of 2025.

Now, that target has been met ahead of schedule.

Gavi CEO Dr Sania Nishtar explains how this opens the way to a safer future for millions of girls: bit.ly/3Xixs82

Today, coverage has started to recover. By 2023 rates rose to 68% but many older girls had already aged out of eligibility and were left unprotected. This new campaign is closing that gap by reaching girls aged 9-18, including those who missed their first chance.

HPV vaccination was introduced into Malawi’s routine immunisation programme in 2019, reaching 73% coverage that year. But COVID-19 came and disrupted services nationwide, and the devastating Cyclone Freddy caused additional setbacks.

By 2022, just 13% of eligible girls had received a dose.

Malawi’s cervical cancer rates remain among the world’s worst. But now the country is doubling down on its efforts to turn the tide against a preventable disease. Here’s how. 🧵

A global report from @WHO finds that one in six infections are no longer responding standard drugs, especially in places where health systems are the weakest.

Here’s the latest news you need to know about antimicrobial resistance 👇🧵

Dr Zubair’s work began long before the campaign. From school halls to community centres, she listened to parents, answered difficult questions and translated science into accessible conversations.

With nine million girls already vaccinated, work like hers has helped make this moment possible.

Pakistan has launched its first nationwide HPV vaccination campaign, a historic step to protect nearly 13 million girls from cervical cancer.

At the heart of the campaign are doctors like Dr Saima Zubair, whose advocacy in twelve languages has helped build trust where it matters most. 🧵

“The girls vaccinated today will be the women who beat [cervical] cancer tomorrow.”

We congratulate Angola for launching the #HPV vaccine to protect girls against the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Angola. 🧵 @unicef.org @who.int

Remarkable impact: there were no reported cases of #cervicalcancer among women in Scotland who received the #HPV vaccine at the age of 12–13 in the 12 years following vaccination. Here’s a look at studies from around the world that show that #VaccinesWork to #StopCervicalCancer: bit.ly/489S33A

This consistent power supply has not only improved the working conditions and morale of health workers, it’s been a game-changer for building trust within the community. Parents are now assured that vaccines will be available and administered on time.

Immunisation coverage has been hampered across the state by an erratic power supply and frequent outages. With support from @unicef.org , The Gates Foundation, @who.int and Gavi, the Kano State Government is tackling these barriers to boost vaccine coverage and reach zero-dose children.

Nipah virus has a 75% fatality rate. That's higher than Ebola.

It spreads from fruit bats to humans, and more than 2 people billion people live in at-risk areas.

There’s no vaccine... but finally, there's some good news. 🧵

Volunteer vaccinators like Harrison Moore and Jerry Karn carry coolers of vaccines – including the cancer-blocking HPV vaccine – through dense forest and flooded trails to protect the children of Nimba County.

In rural Liberia, reaching every child means crossing rivers by raft and navigating miles of dangerous, mud-slicked roads. But due to a lack of funding, many of these vaccinators do it without pay. 🧵

But health workers are climate heroes under increasing pressure – extreme heat, emerging diseases and overwhelming demand during emergencies take a toll. We must support them with training, resources and mental health programmes.

Solar power is transforming vaccine storage. Gavi has deployed over 41,000 solar-powered refrigerators since 2017, preventing 15,300 tonnes of CO₂ annually. Now, entire health facilities are being solarised—starting with Zambia's first facility in 2025.
November 13, 2025 at 10:00 AM
Innovations help, too. Over 21 million vaccine doses have been delivered by drone in Rwanda, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria & Côte d'Ivoire. These ensure vaccines reach remote areas cut off by floods or difficult terrain. Plus, they reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 98% vs. road transport.

More than half of human infectious diseases are made worse by climate change. Rising temperatures are expanding the reach of diseases like malaria, dengue, and cholera into new regions. For those diseases we can vaccinate against, immunisation programmes are our first line of defence.
November 13, 2025 at 10:00 AM
We know that climate change is fuelling disease outbreaks and immunisation is becoming a critical climate adaptation tool. Here’s how we’re helping to meet these challenges head-on. 👇🧵

Today on #WorldPneumoniaDay, we honour the partnerships, persistence and country leadership that continue to turn the tide against childhood pneumonia.

Vaccines are not only saving lives, especially for children under 5, they’re transforming the future for millions of families. #VaccinesWork
