Each year, Googlers come together during their annual flu campaign to support UNICEF's immunization programs globally.
Since 2015, Google and its employees have contributed over $700,000 to support UNICEF's efforts to ensure the right of every woman and every child to immunization is fully realized, with priority given to the most vulnerable.
This year, Google will continue its collaboration with UNICEF USA during this year's annual flu campaign. All funds raised will support UNICEF's immunization program in Haiti, reaching the most vulnerable children.
For every flu shot administered to an employee, Google asks for a $25 donation to UNICEF, Google matches all donations.
$25 could help immunize 60 children against measles, one of the most deadly childhood diseases.
Background on UNICEF's Global Immunization Program:
-Immunization saves 2-3 million lives each year. By protecting children against serious diseases, vaccines play a central role in ending preventable child deaths. UNICEF’s immunization program also helps identify those children that have been left behind by the health system and can bring other life-saving care to these mothers and children.
-UNICEF and partners support immunization programs in over 100 countries to help realize children’s right to survival and good health. Activities include engaging communities to create vaccine demand, procuring and distributing vaccines and keeping vaccines safe through cold chain logistics. UNICEF also works with partners to strengthen immunization programs to identify and prioritize children who have missed on their vaccination.
