The pandemic hit us hard. But we’ve come back punching. And with vaccines rolling out, we’re beginning to win the fight against COVID-19.

Play your part and help UNICEF deliver 2 billion vaccines around the world by the end of this year. Because we’ll only ever be safe, if we’re all safe.

There is no ‘us and them’ – there’s just humanity. And we are all in a race against COVID-19. For life to return to normal, we must protect people against the virus across the entire globe. Uniting against COVID-19 is key to our way out of the global pandemic. 

UNICEF is the only global organisation equipped to deliver an operation of this size. We are the world’s largest vaccine buyer. We have more than 70 years’ experience and are on the ground in more than 190 countries. We help vaccinate almost half the world’s children against preventable diseases. We travel to some of the most remote places on earth to deliver nearly 2 billion doses of life-saving vaccines every year. That’s why we’re leading the way in this huge endeavour. 

As part of The COVAX Facility, UNICEF is leading the biggest health and logistics operation in history to deliver 2 billion COVID-19 vaccines around the world.
As well as buying and delivering vaccines, we’re also providing 165 million treatments and 900 million test kits to help beat this pandemic.

COVAX is a global alliance that enables low-and middle-income countries to access COVID-19 vaccines. 190 countries have signed up – that’s nearly every country on the planet. COVAX is led by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, WHO and CEPI.

Vaccines are being prioritised for frontline health and social workers, teachers and high-risk groups.

Protecting health workers, social workers and teachers means easing pressure on overwhelmed health systems, ensuring children are protected from harm and getting children back to school. This is how we can – and must – stop the pandemic from becoming a lasting crisis, especially for the world's most vulnerable children.

UNICEF works to ensure every child survives and thrives – no matter who they are or where they live. And children are only safe if everyone they rely on is safe. This is why we’re on a mission to protect key workers in every country around the world. 

COVID-19 has already put progress for children globally back 25 years. We must do everything we can to ensure millions of children don’t miss out on routine vaccinations, basic healthcare and education.

Together, we can end this global pandemic.

By supporting UNICEF, not only are you helping deliver 2 billion COVID-19 vaccines, 165 million treatments and 900 million test kits – you’re helping open the door to a brighter future.
