    Nine-year-old Senerita receives a measles vaccination in Leauvaa Village, as part of a UNICEF-supported National Vaccination Campaign.

    Behind her is a cold box bearing a UNICEF logo. Cold boxes play a vital role in maintaining the cold chain, a series of temperature controls necessary to maintain vaccine potency from manufacture through inoculation.

    We won't stop until every child in Samoa is safe and protected from this dangerous and completely preventable disease.

    UNICEF has delivered a total of 165,500 doses of measles vaccines to Samoa since 1 October, including the required diluent, syringes and safety boxes, as well as sufficient supplies of Vitamin A.

    We are on the ground helping with the immunisation effort - working around the clock to ensure all children are as safe and protected as possible.
