29 July 2020 – A lifesaving vaccination campaign is ongoing in 13 governorates in Yemen. Children are being provided with the polio vaccine and vitamin A micronutrient supplements to help protect them from preventable disease. Strict COVID-19 prevention measures are being practised in the interests of public health.
WHO and UNICEF confirm that the vaccines are safe for use. These vaccines have not expired and, as with our vaccine cold chains globally, have been stored safely.
