OUTBREAK WATCH: Preventable diseases on the rise in six continents. Vulnerable children are most at risk

Friend, what we're seeing now is unprecedented.

Diseases that were close to being eradicated are back, putting an entire generation of children at risk. Vaccines work, Friend, and they are the simplest way to save a life. With your help, UNICEF vaccinates nearly half of the world's children.

But in the wake of the spread of measles, polio, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP) and pneumonia, our resources are running short to meet this shocking new demand.

Please help us meet this demand and save lives. Send vaccines >>

Children are dying, and their deaths are completely preventable, Friend. Lack of medical care and vaccine hesitancy are driving this global threat.

Globally, more than 110,000 cases of measles were reported in the first three months of 2019. Stop the outbreak >>

At least 1,981 measles deaths have been reported in DRC, over two-thirds of them children under 5 years old. Protect children >>

More than 24,000 people in Ukraine contracted measles in the first two months of 2019. Give life-saving vaccines >>

Friend, the World Health Organization just named "vaccine hesitancy" as a top global health threat for 2019. These numbers will continue to rise without our support. Give children a healthy future. Rush vaccines to children >>

Now is the time to fight misinformation with action,
