Thank you and farewell
Dear partners,
Over the past year and a half, much has been achieved to reduce global inequities in COVID-19 vaccination coverage. With sufficient vaccine supply, countries have had the opportunity to vaccinate. The AMC92 today have a coverage of 55%, compared to 28% in January 2022. Coverage in the 34 countries for concerted support has increased nearly tenfold from 3% to 29%. Although gaps persist and the work continues, we have seen progress in countries dealing with humanitarian emergencies and a substantial increase in coverage among high-priority groups as countries deployed more tailored vaccination approaches.
While the PHEIC has been declared over, the work on COVID-19 vaccination is not. With the COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership transitioning at the end of June, support from Gavi, UNICEF, WHO, and partners continues as countries pursue integration with a focus on reaching high-priority groups and the recovery of essential immunization.
As I move into my new position as UNICEF Deputy Executive Director for Humanitarian Action and Supply Operations, I wanted to thank you for the excellent collaboration and partnership we have received. It has been rewarding and meaningful to work with you.
Best regards.
Unseen
COVID-19 vaccine delivery efforts reminded us of the crucial role health and community workers play. But we are losing health workers due to unfair pay, poor conditions and overwork. By 2030, the world will have a shortage of 10 million health workers. Now’s our time to support the people who keep us alive and safe.

Vaccination Data: Inside Every Number
Data capturing, processing and analyzing have played an incredibly powerful role in the COVID-19 pandemic response. Around the world, each country’s health care system has relied on data to help identify who to prioritize, when, where and how to get there. So what looks like just a number actually contains information that has the potential to change lives.
