UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham is fronting a new campaign for the charity as part of Immunisation Week, inspiring 'confidence in vaccines and encouraging parents around the world to vaccinate their children against deadly diseases'.
UNICEF ambassadors and supporters including Orlando Bloom, Sofia Carson, Olivia Colman, Jessie Ware, Angélique Kidjo, Jeremy Lin, and Alyssa Milano, join Beckham in a series of online conversations about vaccines, and the British football legend commented 'In the last year, Covid-19 has shown us how much we take for granted but it has also reminded us about the power of vaccines. Vaccines work, saving millions of lives every year. I have learned through my work with UNICEF just how important they are for the health of our loved ones. Yet too many children around the world don’t get the routine vaccines they need to be safe from deadly diseases. That’s why this World Immunisation Week, I’m so proud to be joining UNICEF and partners to encourage parents to vaccinate themselves and their children'.
