A Trend That Never Changes

Vaccines are 'A Trend That Never Changes'

In a world that's constantly evolving, where technology, fashion, and lifestyles transform at rapid speed, there remains one constant—a trend that never changes: the power of vaccines.

Throughout history, vaccines have played a pivotal role in controlling and eliminating some of the deadliest diseases, from smallpox to polio, and more recently, COVID-19. Our mission is to keep this trend alive, ensuring that immunization continues to be recognized not just as a medical achievement, but as a lifelong necessity.

Objective

‘A Trend That Never Changes’ is built on the insights gathered from a social and behaviour change project conducted in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, complemented by training sessions with healthcare workers and key community influencers throughout the Anglophone Caribbean. It is an innovative and creative public education initiative that aims to promote vaccine uptake across all stages of life, helping to mitigate the spread and impact of COVID-19 and other vaccine-preventable diseases. Join us in sustaining a tradition that protects lives, generation after generation.

Why Vaccines?

Vaccines are one of the greatest health achievements in human history. By stimulating the body’s own immune system to protect people against subsequent infection or disease, vaccines have saved countless lives and improved the quality of life for all of humanity.

Here are some achievements to consider:

Smallpox: Once a deadly disease that claimed over 300 million lives worldwide, it is now eradicated thanks to vaccines.

Polio: Reduced by 99% globally and eliminated in many countries.

COVID-19: Managed and controlled through an unprecedented global vaccination effort.
