Everyone deserves equitable access to public health services. CDC investments ensure that tribal health authorities can improve health and well-being in American Indian/Alaska Native communities. When residents of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of southwest Alaska were faced with rising rates of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and a limited supply of vaccinations, the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) worked to increase vaccine allocation and distribution to villages across rural communities in southwest Alaska. YKHC staff called village residents prior to each visit offering education and additional vaccines to ensure tribal community members were aware of the vaccine availability and educated on its importance. Their efforts were tailored to the unique needs of the tribal communities they serve. Learn more about YKHC’s prevention efforts: https://bit.ly/48LjWP3

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is urging vaccination campaigns for high-risk groups due to rising Coronavirus infections and declining immunisation rates. WHO expert Maria Van Kerkhove highlighted an alarming drop in vaccine coverage, particularly among older adults and healthcare workers, stressing the need for urgent action. Recent data shows a rising proportion of positive Coronavirus tests, exceeding 10% globally and over 20% in Europe. Wastewater analyses indicate the virus is more widespread than reported infection rates suggest. Van Kerkhove also noted that over 40 athletes tested positive at the Paris Olympics but reassured that the current situation is less severe than during the pandemic, thanks to increased protection from vaccinations and previous infections. #WHO #COVID19 #VaccinationCampaign

On World Immunization Day 2024, we recognize the crucial role vaccines play in safeguarding health worldwide. Immunization protects us from deadly diseases, reduces healthcare costs, and strengthens public health systems—especially in vulnerable regions across the globe. Immunization not only protects individuals but also strengthens communities, building resilience against preventable diseases. R-DATS Joins the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners in advocating for accessible immunization and spreading awareness to bridge the gaps in vaccine access globally. Together, we can build a healthier, safer world. #RDATS #WorldImmunizationDay2024 #VaccinesWork #ProtectEveryone #VaccinesForAll #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth
