UNICEF is ensuring no one is left behind in the race to vaccinate against COVID-19. Because we'll only be safe when we're all safe. This is the biggest health and logistics project in history – and you can help.
Vaccines are being prioritised for frontline health and social workers, teachers, and those at highest risk from the virus. Your donation will help struggling health services get back on their feet, as well as help millions of children go back to school, while protecting the most at-risk people.
UNICEF is the only global organisation ready to deliver an operation of this size, being experts in large-scale vaccination initiatives. As part of the COVAX Facility, with your help they’re using their extensive knowledge and infrastructure to deliver COVID-19 vaccines around the world. COVAX is a ground-breaking collaboration between 190 countries - Its aim is simple: ensure every country in the world has fair and equal access to the COVID-19 vaccines. It’s co-led by Gavi (The Vaccine Alliance) and the WHO, among others.
By donating or setting up a fundraiser, you’re helping bring us all one step closer to beating the pandemic. Just £25 could provide 20 doses of COVID-19 vaccines to health workers, teachers or vulnerable people around the world. A £50 donation could train all health workers in a health facility on administering the COVID-19 vaccines, tests and treatments.
Global COVID-19 vaccines rollout began on 24th February 2021. In the first 2 weeks, nearly 30 million doses were delivered to 32 countries. This is just the beginning. With your help, we’ll deliver 2 billion before the end of the year.
COVID-19 doesn’t respect borders. To beat this virus, we have to see the bigger picture. We’ll only begin to recover from the pandemic when people in lower-income countries – as well as wealthier countries – have access to the vaccines. UNICEF is on a mission to deliver 2 billion vaccines around the world this year.
Your support will help us get there.
Donations made to UNICEF’s VaccinAid appeal will go towards UNICEF’s work to purchase and deliver Covid-19 vaccines, tests and treatment to bring an end to the pandemic. In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed UNICEF’s funding requirements for this appeal, your donation will go towards the Children’s Emergency Fund.
