Today’s Town Hall Meeting marks an inspiring step toward a healthier future for Uganda. With the impending launch of the malaria vaccine early next year, we are seeing groundbreaking progress in the fight against preventable diseases. However, for this milestone to succeed, we need a united, multisectoral effort, bringing together voices from health and non-health sectors alike. As the Ministry of Health - UNEPI spearheads the Big Catch Up campaign beginning on November 12, we’re dedicated to ensuring that every child under 5 receives their full eligible vaccine doses. This critical initiative, supported by national and regional media syndications, will reach communities across Uganda to foster awareness, build trust, and boost immunization rates. We are proud to stand with the Ministry of Health, UNEPI and fellow partners to drive these conversations and actions forward. Together, we’re building a healthier future for our children and communities. Let’s all continue to support the Big Catch Up and the journey toward health equity for all. #InPactUganda #BigCatchUp #MalariaVaccine #HealthForAll #UNEPI PATH Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance NBS Television
