At the height of the mpox outbreak in Kinshasa, misinformation spread faster than the virus. But once communities witnessed the toll first-hand, attitudes shifted.

In 2011, Rwanda became the first African country to launch a national HPV vaccine program, recently reaching 97% coverage. Now they're racing to eliminate cervical cancer by 2027 — three years ahead of @WHO's 2030 target. Here’s the latest: bit.ly/43fmROK

→ Study: COVID-19 infection poses higher, longer heart risks to children than vaccination
Headlines in 2021 about heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccination sparked understandable anxiety. To better understand risks, a study analysed health records for nearly 14 million children in England. 🧵

Since 2020, bird flu has jumped from wild birds to poultry, and even to mammals. Now, evidence suggests it may also spread unnoticed among people. That doesn’t mean a pandemic is imminent, but it does mean we can’t rely on symptoms alone to track it.

Pandemics thrive where inequality does.
When people can’t protect themselves, outbreaks spread further and last longer. From HIV to COVID-19, the pattern is clear: the greater the divide between rich and poor, the higher the toll on everyone. bit.ly/4oZ3vpt via SciDev.Net

For many babies, RSV is more than a seasonal illness, it’s a deadly threat, especially for children in lower-income countries. A new maternal vaccine could change that, shielding infants from the moment they’re born. Read more about this live-saving development: bit.ly/4oUF4JM via @path.org

In Colombo, Sri Lanka, childhood vaccination continued, even amid recent economic challenges. The country’s commitment to immunisation is a key part of why Sri Lanka’s childhood immunisation coverage stands among the highest in the world, between 97–99%.

Traditional birth attendants like Stella Emmanuel work for little pay: "recharge card money," she calls it. Rising inflation makes it harder. But still, they show up, bridging the gap between home births and formal healthcare.

Since 2023, organisations have trained over 200 traditional birth attendants across 12 Nigerian states in safe delivery, recognising complications and ensuring day-one vaccinations.
The impact 👉 mothers and newborns who'd never reach a clinic are now connected to life-saving care.

Nigeria has the highest number of unvaccinated children in Africa. In 2023 alone, 2.1 million children in the country missed out on all routine childhood vaccines.
This integrated approach is more time- and cost-effective, helping to protect as many children as efficiently as possible.

Nigeria has launched the nation’s largest-ever integrated vaccination campaign that aims to protect over 100 million children against measles and rubella, polio and cervical cancer, along with other routine immunisations.
This ambitious effort has been described as the “mother of all campaigns.”
