A historic vaccination ‘catch-up’ campaign has delivered over 100 million vaccine doses to over 18 million children
A global, multi-year initiative from UNICEF, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the World Health Organization called the “Big Catch-Up” aimed to vaccinate missed children and strengthen routine immunization.
Now, the initiative has officially delivered over 100 million doses to over 18 million children in 36 countries over the course of two years. These children will now be protected from multiple vaccine-preventable diseases.
Over 12 million of the children had never received any vaccines, and about 15 million of the children had never received a measles vaccine.
What’s the nuance?While this is a historic achievement that will result in countless lives saved, more than 14 million infants still miss out on receiving vaccines every year. Global cooperation, political will, and funding have shown us what’s possible — and we need to continue investing in these initiatives to protect children from preventable diseases.
New television series finds ‘forever homes’ for shelter dogs and strays
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, more than 3.3 million dogs across the U.S. and Canada enter the shelter system each year.
In a new reality show, “Must Love Dogs,” celebrity couple Brady Oliveira and Alex Blumberg are centering that crisis. Working closely with supporters who help foster, transport, and care for the animals, their goal is to place as many dogs as possible in safe, loving homes before winter sets in.
“When you watch a dog go from surviving to truly belonging, it changes the way you see adoption,” Blumberg said. “They’re not 'rescue dogs.' They’re just dogs who need a chance — and once they get it, they thrive.”
