| No images? Click here  June 2023 | Issue 07 Thank you and farewell Dear partners, Over the past year and a half, much has been achieved to reduce global inequities in COVID-19 vaccination coverage. With sufficient vaccine supply, countries have had the opportunity to vaccinate. The AMC92 today have a coverage of 55%, compared to 28% in January 2022. Coverage in the 34 countries for concerted support has increased nearly tenfold from 3% to 29%. Although gaps persist and the work continues, we have seen progress in countries dealing with humanitarian emergencies and a substantial increase in coverage among high-priority groups as countries deployed more tailored vaccination approaches. While the PHEIC has been declared over, the work on COVID-19 vaccination is not. With the COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership transitioning at the end of June, support from Gavi, UNICEF, WHO, and partners continues as countries pursue integration with a focus on reaching high-priority groups and the recovery of essential immunization. As I move into my new position as UNICEF Deputy Executive Director for Humanitarian Action and Supply Operations, I wanted to thank you for the excellent collaboration and partnership we have received. It has been rewarding and meaningful to work with you. Best regards. Unseen COVID-19 vaccine delivery efforts reminded us of the crucial role health and community workers play. But we are losing health workers due to unfair pay, poor conditions and overwork. By 2030, the world will have a shortage of 10 million health workers. Now’s our time to support the people who keep us alive and safe.

| No images? Click here  April 2023 | Issue 06 Mali: Vaccinating on the Borderlands With a population of just over 20 000, Ménaka is the largest outpost in the Malian southeast frontier with Niger. Regional security is volatile and violence is present: armed groups attack and constrict routes between Ménaka and its nearest neighbouring localities, Anderamboukane and Ansongo. As a result, people are displaced and on the move from the Ader Douchi hills to what is the nearest town with services, Ménaka. They need safety and shelter—but they also need vaccines. In December 2022 Ménaka and its surroundings were included in a Malian vaccination campaign against COVID-19. The vaccines are to be sent in by plane for delivery 1500 kilometres away. The journey starts in the capital, Bamako. Read the photo story.  COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership Situation ReportThis report covers the months of February and March 2023.
