Yesterday, October 3rd, marked the end of the catch-up vaccination campaign in Artibonite ! 💉 Despite insecurity and the rainy season, MSPP –DSA teams, with UNICEF’s support, reached children even in the most remote areas. Thanks to the support of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Government of Japan, more than 3,000 children were protected against preventable diseases.  At the same time, over 1,700 pregnant women received the dT2+ vaccine.  Every dose counts for every child and every mother.  #ForEveryChild 💙

The UNICEF Representative in Haiti, Ms Geeta Narayan, joined a school kit distribution ceremony organized by #EDUPOL with support from the Government of Japan. More than 500 children, including some living in displacement sites and others who had never had the chance to go to school, received their kit.
