Заявление Исполнительного директора ЮНИСЕФ Генриетты Фор относительно сбоев в предоставлении услуг по иммунизации и базовых медицинских услуг 
в связи с пандемией COVID-19
https://www.unicef.org/eca/ru/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81-%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D1%8B/%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%8F%D0%B2%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B0-%D1%8E%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%84-%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%82%D1%8B-%D1%84%D0%BE%D1%80-%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE-%D1%81%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%B2-%D0%B2
НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 26 марта 2020 года. Во всем мире в результате пандемии COVID-19 службы здравоохранения перегружены, поскольку деятельность медицинских работников переключается на оказание содействия в принятии мер реагирования. Необходимость соблюдения физического дистанцирования вынуждает родителей принимать трудное решение о переносе сроков плановой иммунизации. Отмечается нехватка товаров медицинского назначения, а цепочки поставок испытывают беспрецедентное напряжение из-за нарушений транспортного сообщения. Отмена рейсов и торговые ограничения, введенные странами, значительно затруднили доступ к основным лекарственным препаратам, включая вакцины. С развитием пандемии могут возникнуть сбои в предоставлении жизненно важных услуг, включая иммунизацию, особенно в Африке, Азии и на Ближнем Востоке, где такие услуги остро необходимы. Наибольшему риску подвергаются дети из самых малообеспеченных семей в странах, затронутых конфликтами и стихийными бедствиями. Особую обеспокоенность вызывает ситуация в странах, которые параллельно с реагированием на случаи COVID-19 борются со вспышками кори, холеры или полиомиелита, таких как Афганистан, Демократическая Республика Конго, Сомали, Филиппины, Сирия и Южный Судан. Подобные вспышки не только перегружают медицинские службы, и без того работающие на пределе возможностей, но и могут привести к дополнительным смертям и страданиям людей. В такой момент эти страны не вправе допустить новые вспышки заболеваний, предупреждаемых вакцинацией. Идея ясна: мы не должны позволить, чтобы наши действия по борьбе с COVID-19 осуществлялись в ущерб жизненно важным мероприятиям по охране здоровья. ЮНИСЕФ с готовностью поддерживает деятельность по удовлетворению потребностей в базовых медицинских услугах и иммунизации в наиболее пострадавших странах при ограничении риска передачи COVID-19. Мы прилагаем все усилия, чтобы создать надлежащие запасы вакцин в странах, которые в них нуждаются. Мы работаем в тесном контакте с мировыми поставщиками вакцин, с тем чтобы недопустить сбоев в производстве и обеспечить оптимальное управление снабжением в этих сложных условиях. Мы также оказываем более весомую поддержку правительствам для организации дальнейших поставок вакцин во время этой пандемии. В ближайшие дни правительствам, возможно, придется временно отложить проведение профилактических кампаний массовой вакцинации во многих местах с целью не допустить того, чтобы предоставление услуг по иммунизации способствовало распространению COVID-19, и следовать рекомендациям в отношении физического дистанцирования. ЮНИСЕФ настоятельно рекомендует всем правительствам незамедлительно приступить к тщательному планированию активизации деятельности по иммунизации после установления контроля над пандемией COVID-19. Данные мероприятия по вакцинации должны быть ориентированы на детей, которые не получат дозы вакцин в связи с вынужденным перерывом, и отдавать приоритет самым малоимущим и уязвимым детям. В целях успешного внедрения вакцин против COVID-19, когда они будут готовы, мы должны обеспечить, чтобы наши программы иммунизации сохранили свою функциональность и позволили охватить лиц, которые больше прочих будут нуждаться в этих вакцинах. Иммунизация остается жизненно важным мероприятием по охране здоровья. Являясь крупнейшим в мире покупателем и поставщиком вакцин, ЮНИСЕФ будет и впредь играть ключевую роль в поддержке текущих и будущих усилий правительств в сфере иммунизации.   ### Примечания для редактора Загрузить мультимедийный контент о вспышке COVID-19, мытье рук и вакцинах можно здесь: https://uni.cf/2WydpEk .

Из-за стремительного роста пандемии COVID-19 существует риск того, что более 117 миллионов детей пропустят вакцинацию против кори
https://www.unicef.org/eca/ru/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81-%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D1%8B/%D0%B8%D0%B7-%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%B8-covid-19-%D1%81%D1%83%D1%89%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D1%83%D0%B5%D1%82-%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA-%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D1%87%D1%82%D0%BE-%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B5-117
АТЛАНТА/ЖЕНЕВА/НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 14 апреля 2020 г.: На фоне продолжающегося глобального распространения COVID-19 более 117 миллионов детей в 37 странах могут пропустить жизненно важную прививку против кори. Кампании иммунизации против кори уже приостановлены в 24 странах, и будут отложены в других странах. В этот сложный период Инициатива по борьбе с корью и краснухой выражает солидарность с семьями, местными сообществами, правительствами и группами реагирования на чрезвычайные ситуации и присоединяется к нашим глобальным партнерам в области иммунизации и здравоохранения, включая наших партнеров из ГАВИ (Альянса по вакцинам) и Глобальной инициативы по ликвидации полиомиелита (ГИЛП), в рамках нашей общей целенаправленной работы и борьбы с угрозой COVID-19. Пандемия, охватившая весь мир, требует скоординированных усилий и выделения ресурсов для обеспечения защиты медицинских работников первичного звена во всем мире, которые непосредственно сталкиваются с этой новой угрозой и принимают ответные меры. Одновременно мы должны поддерживать и усилия по защите основных служб иммунизации - сейчас и в будущем. Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ) выпустила новые руководящие принципы , одобренные Стратегической консультативной группой экспертов по иммунизации, которые помогут странам в проведении мероприятий по иммунизации во время пандемии COVID-19. В данных руководящих принципах содержится рекомендация правительствам временно приостановить кампании профилактической иммунизации в случае отсутствия активной вспышки болезни, предупреждаемой с помощью вакцины. Партнеры Инициативы по борьбе с корью и краснухой, включая Американский Красный Крест, Центры по контролю и профилактике заболеваний США, ЮНИСЕФ, Фонд ООН и ВОЗ, полностью согласны с этими рекомендациями. Мы также призываем страны продолжать оказание услуг по плановой иммунизации, обеспечивая при этом безопасность местных сообществ и медицинских работников. В рекомендациях также содержится просьба к правительствам провести тщательный анализ рисков и пользы при принятии решения о целесообразности приостановки кампаний вакцинации в ответ на вспышки, с возможностью отложить проведение кампаний, если риск передачи COVID-19 считается недопустимо высоким. В том случае, если из-за распространения COVID-19 будет принято трудное решение о приостановке вакцинации, мы призываем лидеров активизировать усилия по отслеживанию невакцинированных детей, с тем чтобы наиболее уязвимые группы населения смогли получить прививки против кори, как только это станет возможным. Хотя мы и осознаем, что во время угрозы COVID-19 - и после ее устранения - к системам здравоохранения и медицинским работникам первичного звена будут предъявляться многочисленные требования, нужно помнить о том, что предоставление всех услуг по иммунизации, включая вакцинацию против кори, играет ключевую роль для спасения жизней, которые, в противном случае, были бы потеряны из-за болезней, предупреждаемых с помощью вакцин. Инициатива по борьбе с корью и краснухой поддерживает необходимость защитить общины и медицинских работников от COVID-19 посредством приостановки проведения массовых кампаний там, где высоки риски заболевания. Однако это не должно означать постоянный пропуск вакцинации детьми. Сейчас необходимо предпринять неотложные усилия на местном, национальном, региональном и глобальном уровнях, чтобы подготовиться к устранению пробелов в иммунизации, результатом которых может стать инфицирование вирусом кори, путем обеспечения наличия вакцин и их незамедлительного предоставления детям и уязвимым группам населения для их защиты от болезни. Несмотря на то, что безопасная и эффективная вакцина существует уже более 50 лет, число случаев заболевания корью за последние годы стремительно возросло, и в 2018 г. корь унесла более 140 000 жизней, в основном детей и младенцев, причем все эти случаи смерти можно было предотвратить. На этом и без того опасном фоне в настоящий момент в 24 странах были приостановлены или отложены кампании профилактической и ответной вакцинации против кори, с тем чтобы помочь предотвратить дальнейшее распространение COVID-19. Кампании, которые планируется провести позднее в 2020 г. еще в 13 странах, возможно, не будут  проведены. Приостановка запланированных мероприятий по иммунизации может оказать свое воздействие в общей сложности на более чем 117 миллионов детей, многие из которых живут в регионах, где продолжаются вспышки кори, в 37 странах. Эта ошеломляющая цифра не включает в себя число детей, которые не могут быть вакцинированы из-за влияния COVID-19 на услуги по  плановой иммунизации. Дети в возрасте младше 12 месяцев чаще умирают от вызванных корью осложнений, и, если циркуляция вируса кори не будет остановлена, риск заражения этой болезнью будет возрастать с каждым днем. Инициатива по борьбе с корью и краснухой приветствует героизм медицинских работников и работников служб неотложной помощи во всем мире, и мы признаем ту жизненно важную роль, которую они играют в предоставлении четкой и достоверной информации, а также профилактического и поддерживающего лечения в своих сообществах.  Мы должны инвестировать в медицинских работников и обеспечить их защиту от инфицирования, а также расширение их прав и возможностей в рамках устойчивых и функционирующих систем первичной медико-санитарной помощи. Они являются первым рубежом защиты от глобальных эпидемий. Мы также отдаем должное роли родителей и опекунов в обеспечении вакцинации их детей и соблюдении рекомендаций по сохранению физической дистанции в соответствии с национальными руководствами. Наконец, мы призываем государственных и местных лидеров реализовать эффективные стратегии коммуникации для вовлечении местных сообществ, для поддержания высокого спроса и предложения вакцинации и оказания помощи в обеспечении здоровой жизни для каждого ребенка, особенно в это сложное время. ### Примечания для редактора Об Инициативе по борьбе с корью и краснухой: Инициатива по борьбе с корью и краснухой (M&RI) – это глобальное партнерство, созданное Американским Красным Крестом, Центрами по контролю и профилактике заболеваний США, ЮНИСЕФ, Фондом Организации Объединенных Наций и ВОЗ с целью навсегда освободить мир от кори, краснухи и синдрома врожденной краснухи. Со времени своего основания в 2001 г. Инициатива содействовала вакцинации свыше 2,9 миллиарда детей и спасла более 21 миллиона жизней благодаря расширению охвата вакцинацией, повышению эффективности систем мониторинга, оценки и реагирования на болезни, а также укреплению доверия населения к иммунизации и повышению ее востребованности. Для достижения этих целей Инициатива тесно сотрудничает с ГАВИ (Альянсом по вакцинам).

Statement by UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore on the disruption of immunization and basic health services due to the COVID-19 pandemic
https://www.unicef.org/eca/press-releases/statement-unicef-executive-director-henrietta-fore-disruption-immunization-and-basic
NEW YORK, 26 March 2020: “Around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic is overstretching health services as health workers are diverted to support the response. “Physical distancing is leading parents to make the difficult decision to defer routine immunization. “Medical goods are in short supply and supply chains are under historic strain due to transport disruptions. Flight cancellations and trade restrictions by countries have severely constrained access to essential medicines, including vaccines. “As the pandemic progresses, critical life-saving services, including immunization, will likely be disrupted, especially in Africa, Asia and the Middle East where they are sorely needed. “At the greatest risk are children from the poorest families in countries affected by conflicts and natural disasters. “We are particularly concerned about countries that are battling measles, cholera or polio outbreaks while responding to COVID-19 cases, such as Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, the Philippines, Syria and South Sudan. Not only would such outbreaks tax already stretched health services, they could also lead to additional loss of lives and suffering. At a time like this, these countries can ill-afford to face additional outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. “The message is clear: We must not allow lifesaving health interventions to fall victim to our efforts to address COVID-19. “UNICEF is committed to supporting basic health care and immunization needs in the worst affected countries, and to doing so in a way that limits the risk of COVID-19 transmission. We are working hard to ensure adequate vaccine supplies are available in countries that need them. We are in close communication with global vaccine suppliers to ensure production is not disrupted and supply is managed in the best possible manner under these difficult circumstances. We are also providing greater support to governments to continue the supply of vaccines during this pandemic.   “In the days to come, governments may have to temporarily postpone preventive mass vaccination campaigns in many places to ensure that the delivery of immunization services does not contribute to COVID-19 spread, and to follow recommendations on physical distancing. “UNICEF strongly recommends that all governments begin rigorous planning now to intensify immunization activities once the COVID -19 pandemic is under control. These vaccination activities must focus on children who will miss vaccine doses during this period of interruption and prioritize the poorest and most vulnerable children. To successfully roll-out vaccines against COVID -19 when they become available, we need to ensure that our immunization programmes remain robust and can reach those that will need these vaccines the most.    “Immunization remains a life-saving health intervention. As the world's biggest buyer and supplier of vaccines, UNICEF will continue to play a pivotal role in supporting governments’ current and future immunization efforts.” Nurse Milka Babic performs immunization UNICEF/UNI218376/Pancic

WHO and UNICEF warn of a decline in vaccinations during COVID-19
https://www.unicef.org/eca/press-releases/who-and-unicef-warn-decline-vaccinations-during-covid-19
GENEVA/NEW YORK, 15 July 2020 – The World Health Organization and UNICEF warned today of an alarming decline in the number of children receiving life-saving vaccines around the world. This is due to disruptions in the delivery and uptake of immunization services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to new data by WHO and UNICEF , these disruptions threaten to reverse hard-won progress to reach more children and adolescents with a wider range of vaccines, which has already been hampered by a decade of stalling coverage. The latest data on vaccine coverage estimates from WHO and UNICEF for 2019 shows that improvements such as the expansion of the HPV vaccine to 106 countries and greater protection for children against more diseases are in danger of lapsing. For example, preliminary data for the first four months of 2020 points to a substantial drop in the number of children completing three doses of the vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP3). This is the first time in 28 years that the world could see a reduction in DTP3 coverage – the marker for immunization coverage within and across countries. “Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools in the history of public health, and more children are now being immunized than ever before,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “But the pandemic has put those gains at risk. The avoidable suffering and death caused by children missing out on routine immunizations could be far greater than COVID-19 itself. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Vaccines can be delivered safely even during the pandemic, and we are calling on countries to ensure these essential life-saving programmes continue.”   COVID-19 disruptions Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, at least 30 measles vaccination campaigns were or are at risk of being cancelled, which could result in further outbreaks in 2020 and beyond. According to a new UNICEF, WHO and Gavi pulse survey ,  conducted in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control, the Sabin Vaccine Institute and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, three quarters of the 82 countries that responded reported COVID-19 related disruptions in their immunization programmes as of May 2020. The reasons for disrupted services vary. Even when services are offered, people are either unable to access them because of reluctance to leave home, transport interruptions, economic hardships, restrictions on movement, or fear of being exposed to people with COVID-19. Many health workers are also unavailable because of restrictions on travel or redeployment to COVID response duties as well as a lack of protective equipment. “COVID-19 has made previously routine vaccination a daunting challenge,” said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. “We must prevent a further deterioration in vaccine coverage and urgently resume vaccination programs before children’s lives are threatened by other diseases. We cannot trade one health crisis for another.”   Stagnating global coverage rate Progress on immunization coverage was stalling before COVID-19 hit, at 85 per cent for DTP3 and measles vaccines. The likelihood that a child born today will be fully vaccinated with all the globally recommended vaccines by the time she reaches the age of 5 is less than 20 per cent. In 2019, nearly 14 million children missed out on life-saving vaccines such as measles and DTP3. Most of these children live in Africa and are likely to lack access to other health services. Two-thirds of them are concentrated in 10 middle- and low-income countries: Angola, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Philippines. Children in middle-income countries account for an increasing share of the burden.   Progress and challenges, by country and region There has been some progress. Regional coverage for the third dose of DTP in South Asia has increased by 12 percentage points over the last 10 years, notably across India, Nepal and Pakistan. However, that hard-won progress could be undone by COVID-19 related disruptions. Countries that had recorded significant progress, such as Ethiopia and Pakistan, are now also at risk of backsliding if immunization services are not restored as soon as feasible. The situation is especially concerning for Latin America and the Caribbean, where historically high coverage has slipped over the last decade. In Brazil, Bolivia, Haiti and Venezuela, immunization coverage plummeted by at least 14 percentage points since 2010. These countries are now also confronting moderate to severe COVID19-related disruptions.    As the global health community attempts to recover lost ground due to COVID-19 related disruptions, UNICEF and WHO are supporting countries in their efforts to reimagine immunization and build back better by: Restoring services so countries can safely deliver routine immunization services during the COVID-19 pandemic, by adhering to hygiene and physical distancing recommendations and providing protective equipment to health workers; Helping health workers communicate actively with caregivers to explain how services have been reconfigured to ensure safety; Rectifying coverage and immunity gaps; Expanding routine services to reach missed communities, where some of the most vulnerable children live. ### Notes to editors Download photos , the report, data files and b-roll from UNICEF here or from WHO here .

UNICEF begins shipping syringes for the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines under COVAX
https://www.unicef.org/eca/press-releases/unicef-begins-shipping-syringes-global-rollout-covid-19-vaccines-under-covax
NEW YORK, 23 February 2021 – UNICEF has sent 100,000 syringes and 1,000 safety boxes for COVID-19 vaccinations to the Maldives by air freight from UNICEF’s humanitarian warehouse in Dubai—part of the first wave of COVID-19-related syringe shipments to begin rolling out in the coming days. Others in the first wave of shipments include Côte d'Ivoire and São Tomé and Príncipe. The 0.5 ml syringes and safety boxes are expected to arrive in Malé, Maldives on Tuesday. Over the next few weeks, UNICEF will ship more than 14.5 million 0.5 ml and 0.3 ml auto-disable syringes to more than 30 countries. While the 0.5 ml syringes are meant for use with the Serum Institute of India/AstraZeneca vaccine, the 0.3 ml ones are to be used with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. “In this global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, syringes are as vital as the vaccine itself,” said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. “It is critical to have adequate supplies of syringes already in place in every country before the vaccine arrives so that the vaccine can be administered safely. This would allow immunization to start immediately and help turn the tide on this terrible virus.” The countries that will receive syringes in this initial tranche are from those included in the  COVAX indicative distribution  and that have put in requests to UNICEF to supply syringes. These shipments will support the country rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, and is part of work by the  COVAX Facility  to provide vaccines to all participating countries. The 0.5 ml syringes are being dispatched from UNICEF’s humanitarian warehouse in Dubai, while the 0.3 ml & 2 ml syringes will be transported directly from a manufacturer in Spain. The consignments will also include safety boxes for the safe disposal of syringes. Both syringes are of the auto-disable type, which means they cannot be used again after a single dose of vaccine has been administered. This reduces the risk of infection from blood-borne diseases as a result of syringe re-use. In all, UNICEF will be supplying up to 1 billion syringes and 10 million safety boxes to countries in 2021 to ensure they are ready for COVID-19 vaccinations. In order to meet the demand for these vital supplies,  UNICEF created a stockpile  of almost half a billion syringes in its warehouses in Copenhagen and Dubai in preparation for the broader rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in 82 low- and lower middle-income countries. UNICEF has been working with airlines, logistics operators and freight forwarders to ensure the syringes are treated as priority freight, whether they are being shipped direct from a manufacturer or from UNICEF warehouses to the destination country’s port of entry. Although the first deliveries will be transported by air, most of the syringes and safety boxes will be transported by sea due to the large amount of space they take up as cargo. UNICEF is aiming to make 2 billion COVID-19 doses available for delivery in 2021. Even before COVID-19, UNICEF was already the largest single vaccine buyer in the world, procuring over 2 billion vaccines annually in order to reach almost half of the world’s children under 5. In addition, the agency procures and supplies around 600-800 million syringes for regular immunization programmes annually. COVAX is a global collaboration co-led by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and WHO, and includes UNICEF, which leads on procurement and delivery, as well as getting countries ready to receive vaccines. ##### Двое мужчин на складе с коробками UNICEF/UN0419486/Pableo

UNICEF to stockpile over half a billion syringes by year end, as part of efforts to prepare for eventual COVID-19 vaccinations
https://www.unicef.org/eca/press-releases/unicef-stockpile-over-half-billion-syringes-year-end-part-efforts-prepare-eventual
NEW YORK, 19 October 2020 – As the world awaits a COVID-19 vaccine, UNICEF has begun  laying the groundwork  for the rapid, safe and efficient delivery of the eventual vaccine by purchasing and pre-positioning syringes and other necessary equipment. As soon as COVID-19 vaccines successfully emerge from trials and are licensed and recommended for use, the world will need as many syringes as doses of vaccine. To begin preparations, this year, UNICEF will stockpile 520 million syringes in its warehouses, part of a larger plan of 1 billion syringes by 2021, to guarantee initial supply and help ensure that syringes arrive in countries before the COVID-19 vaccines. During 2021, assuming there are enough doses of COVID-19 vaccines, UNICEF anticipates delivering over 1 billion syringes to support COVID-19 vaccination efforts on top of the 620 million syringes that UNICEF will purchase for other vaccination programmes against other diseases such as measles, typhoid and more. “Vaccinating the world against COVID-19 will be one of the largest mass undertakings in human history, and we will need to move as quickly as the vaccines can be produced,” said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF Executive Director. “In order to move fast later, we must move fast now. By the end of the year, we will already have over half a billion syringes pre-positioned where they can be deployed quickly and cost effectively. That’s enough syringes to wrap around the world one and a half times.”  In line with the longstanding collaboration between the two partners, Gavi will reimburse UNICEF for the procurement of the syringes and safety boxes, which shall then be used for the  COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Facility (COVAX Facility)  and for other Gavi-funded immunization programmes if necessary. Besides syringes, UNICEF is also buying 5 million safety boxes so that used syringes and needles can be disposed in a safe manner by personnel at health facilities, thus preventing the risk of needle stick injuries and blood borne diseases. Every safety box carries 100 syringes. Accordingly, UNICEF is “bundling” the syringes with safety boxes to ensure enough safety boxes are available to go along with the syringes. Injection equipment such as syringes and safety boxes have a shelf life of five years. Lead-times for such equipment are also long as these items are bulky and need to be transported by sea freight.  Vaccines , which are heat sensitive, are normally transported more quickly by air freight. In addition to saving time, early purchase of syringes and safety boxes also reduces pressure on the market and pre-empts potential early spikes in demand when vaccines do become available. As the key procurement coordinator for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF is already the  largest single vaccine buyer in the world , procuring more than 2 billion doses of vaccines annually for routine immunization and outbreak response on behalf of nearly 100 countries. Every year,  UNICEF provides vaccines  for almost half of the world’s children and procures and supplies around 600-800 million syringes for regular immunization programmes. COVID-19 vaccines will likely treble or quadruple that number, depending on the number of COVID-19 vaccines that are ultimately produced and secured by UNICEF. “Over two decades, Gavi has helped an additional 822 million children from the world’s most vulnerable countries access critical, life-saving vaccines,” said Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi. “This would not have been possible without our partnership with UNICEF, and it is this same collaboration that will be essential to Gavi’s work with the COVAX Facility.” To make sure that vaccines are transported and  stored at the right temperature , UNICEF, along with WHO, is also mapping out existing cold chain equipment and storage capacity – in the private as well as public sector – and preparing necessary guidance for countries to receive vaccines. “We are doing everything we can to deliver these essential supplies efficiently, effectively and at the right temperature, as we already do so well all over the world,” Fore said. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, with support from Gavi and in partnership with WHO,  UNICEF has been upgrading  the existing cold chain equipment across health facilities in countries to ensure that vaccines remain safe and effective throughout their journey. Since 2017, over 40,000 cold-chain fridges, including solar fridges, have been installed across health facilities, mostly in Africa. In most countries, UNICEF is promoting solar technologies to help countries maintain supply chains.  In South Sudan , the least electrified country in the world, where temperatures frequently exceed 40 degrees Celsius, more than 700 health facilities have been equipped by UNICEF with solar power fridges, approximately 50 per cent of health facilities in the country.

More than 117 million children at risk of missing out on measles vaccines, as COVID-19 surges
https://www.unicef.org/eca/press-releases/more-117-million-children-risk-missing-out-measles-vaccines-covid-19-surges
ATLANTA/GENEVA/NEW YORK, 14 April 2020: “As COVID-19 continues to spread globally, over 117 million children in 37 countries may miss out on receiving life-saving measles vaccine. Measles immunization campaigns in 24 countries have already been delayed; more will be postponed. “During this challenging period, the Measles & Rubella Initiative (M&RI) expresses solidarity with families, communities, governments and emergency responders and joins our global immunization and health partners, including those within Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in our collective focus and fight against the threat of COVID-19. The pandemic sweeping the globe requires a coordinated effort and commitment of resources to ensure frontline health workers around the world are protected, as they face and respond to this new threat. At the same time, we must also champion efforts to protect essential immunization services, now and for the future. “The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued new  guidelines  endorsed by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization -- to help countries to sustain immunization activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidelines recommend that governments temporarily pause preventive immunization campaigns where there is no active outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease. M&RI partners, which include the American Red Cross, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, the United Nations Foundation and WHO, strongly agree with these recommendations. We also urge countries to continue routine immunization services, while ensuring the safety of communities and health workers. The recommendations also ask governments to undertake a careful risk-benefit analysis when deciding whether to delay vaccination campaigns in response to outbreaks, with the possibility of postponement where risks of COVID-19 transmission are deemed unacceptably high. “If the difficult choice to pause vaccination is made due to the spread of COVID-19, we urge leaders to intensify efforts to track unvaccinated children, so that the most vulnerable populations can be provided with measles vaccines as soon as it becomes possible to do so. While we know there will be many demands on health systems and frontline workers during and beyond the threat of COVID-19, delivering all immunization services, including measles vaccines, is essential to saving lives that would otherwise be lost to vaccine-preventable diseases. “The M&RI supports the need to protect communities and health workers from COVID-19 through a pause of mass campaigns, where risks of the disease are high. However, this should not mean that children permanently miss out. Urgent efforts must be taken now at local, national, regional and global levels to prepare to close the immunity gaps that the measles virus will exploit, by ensuring that vaccines are available and that they reach children and vulnerable populations, as quickly as possible, to keep them safe. “Despite having a safe and effective vaccine for over 50 years, measles cases surged over recent years and claimed more than 140,000 lives in 2018, mostly of children and babies – all of which were preventable. Against this already dangerous backdrop, preventive and responsive measles vaccination campaigns have now been paused or postponed in 24 countries to help avert further spread of COVID-19. Campaigns expected to take place later in 2020 in an additional 13 countries may not be implemented. Together, more than 117 million children in 37 countries, many of whom live in regions with ongoing measles outbreaks, could be impacted by the suspension of scheduled immunization activities. This staggering number does not include the number of infants that may not be vaccinated because of the effect of COVID-19 on routine immunization services.  Children younger than 12 months of age are more likely to die from measles complications, and if the circulation of measles virus is not stopped, their risk of exposure to measles will increase daily.   “The M&RI salutes the heroism of health and emergency workers across the globe, and we recognize the vital role they play in delivering clear, trusted information, as well as preventive and supportive care within their communities. We must invest in health workers and ensure they are protected from infection and empowered as part of sustainable and functioning primary health systems. They are the first line of defense against global epidemics. We also recognize the role of parents and caregivers in ensuring their children are vaccinated by following physical distancing recommendations in line with national guidance. Finally, we call on countries and local leaders to implement effective communication strategies to engage communities, ensure supply and demand for vaccination remains strong, and help assure a healthy life for every child especially in this challenging time.” #####   Notes to Editor   About Measles & Rubella Initiative: The Measles & Rubella Initiative (M&RI) is a global partnership, founded by the American Red Cross, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection, UNICEF, the United Nations Foundation and WHO, that is committed to achieving and maintaining a world without measles, rubella and congenital rubella syndrome.

UNICEF outlining plans to transport up to 850 tonnes of COVID-19 vaccines per month on behalf of COVAX, in ‘mammoth and historic’ logistics
https://www.unicef.org/eca/press-releases/unicef-outlining-plans-transport-850-tonnes-covid-19-vaccines-month-behalf-covax
NEW YORK, 18 December 2020 – UNICEF could potentially transport up to 850 tonnes of COVID-19 vaccines per month in 2021, should such quantities become available, according to a new assessment. This is more than double the average weight of vaccines UNICEF transports every month. The assessment is part of  UNICEF’s work  to lead on the procurement and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines for 92 low- and lower middle-income countries on behalf of the  COVAX Facility , in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). “This is a mammoth and historic undertaking,” said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF Executive Director. “The scale of the task is daunting, and the stakes have never been higher, but we are ready to take this on.” The UNICEF assessment looked at global airfreight capacity and transport routes to better understand the challenges of delivering COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. It found that commercial airlines will be able to deliver vaccines to almost all 92 low- and lower-middle-income countries, which are among the 190 economies participating in the COVAX Facility, at an estimated cost of up to US$70 million. Comparing vaccine volume estimates against commercial and cargo routes across the globe, the assessment also found that current air cargo capacity would be sufficient to make deliveries covering 20 per cent of the population for most of the 92 countries. COVID-19 vaccines are expected to be primarily shipped using existing passenger and cargo flight capacity, although charters or alternative transport options may still be needed for some small countries and others with access issues. UNICEF is working with airlines and the wider logistics industry to prioritise the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines around the world. One major challenge in the COVID-19 vaccine operation is local cold chain capacity for vaccine storage within some low- and lower-middle-income countries. UNICEF, WHO and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, developed a  guidance note on supply and logistics  to help countries develop their supply chain strategies to receive, store, distribute and manage COVID-19 vaccines and related products. Given the range of storage temperatures required for COVID-19 vaccines, countries will continue to train logisticians and health workers on how to keep COVID-19 vaccines at the right temperatures. As part of  a programme that started in 2017 , with support from Gavi, UNICEF continues to procure and support the installation of 70,000 cold-chain fridges in lower-income countries by the end of 2021, which will help in the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines that need to be stored at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. Almost half of these will be solar powered. UNICEF, WHO and Gavi are also working to help countries prepare and develop  national deployment and vaccination plans  for the large-scale roll out of COVID-19 vaccines. Currently, countries are continuing to  monitor their readiness  against key milestones, which include expediting regulatory approvals and putting in place ways to monitor vaccine safety. In addition, a UNICEF meeting this week with more than 300 vaccine procurement experts globally, including government officials, looked at ways to procure and roll-out COVID-19 vaccines and strengthen regulatory systems and supply chains. Funding is critical. UNICEF has called for US$410 million to help countries with the delivery of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostic tools in 2021. Further, UNICEF estimates a funding gap of US$133 million to cover in-country vaccine logistics and the required cold chain equipment for the poorest 92 countries. “With the imminent arrival of globally approved COVID-19 vaccines, we can begin to see signs of hope. But hope will not be restored by the vaccine alone,” said Fore. “Countries need urgent technical and financial support to strengthen their capacities for cold and supply chains, to train health workers, and to work with communities in combatting misinformation and building trust in vaccines. Without urgent funding and support, many of the poorest countries still risk being left behind.” ###### About COVAX COVAX is the vaccines pillar of the  ACT-Accelerator . It is co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation (CEPI), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the World Health Organization (WHO) – working in partnership with developed and developing country vaccine manufacturers, UNICEF, the World Bank, Civil Society Organisations and others. COVAX is the only global initiative that is working with governments and manufacturers to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are rapidly available worldwide to economies of all financial means.  Find out more about UNICEF’s work on the COVID-19 vaccines  here , or about UNICEF’s work on immunization  here .

What you need to know about COVID-19 vaccines
https://www.unicef.org/eca/stories/what-you-need-know-about-covid-19-vaccines
Vaccines work by mimicking an infectious agent – viruses, bacteria or other microorganisms that can cause a disease. This ‘teaches’ our immune system to rapidly and effectively respond against it.  Traditionally, vaccines have done this by introducing a weakened form of an infectious agent that allows our immune system to build a memory of it. This way, our immune system can quickly recognize and fight it before it makes us ill. That’s how some of the COVID-19 vaccines have been designed. Other COVID-19 vaccines have been developed using new approaches, which are called messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines. Instead of introducing antigens (a substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies), mRNA vaccines give our body the genetic code it needs to allow our immune system to produce the antigen itself. mRNA vaccine technology has been studied for several decades. They contain no live virus and do not interfere with human DNA. For more information on how vaccines work, please visit  WHO .
