UNICEF to purchase half a billion syringes in preparation for an eventual COVID-19 vaccine
UNICEF is set to purchase 520 million syringes by the end of the year in partnership with Gavi. The syringe stockpile will ensure that when a safe and approved vaccine against COVID-19 is made available, the vaccine can be delivered rapidly and efficiently. Moreover, the stockpile will reduce the possibility of spikes in demand when a vaccine becomes available.In addition to stockpiling syringes, UNICEF will be purchasing 5 million safety boxes which have a capacity to hold 100 syringes. These safety boxes will enable the safe disposal of syringes once used, reducing the risk of needle stick injuries and blood-borne diseases.As we face future uncertainty, UNICEF and Gavi's initiative will ensure that vaccinating the world against COVID-19 is carried out as efficiently as possible. Investing and preparing for the future is vital to combat COVID-19 and to promote good health and well-being.
