Sanofi, UNICEF Target Eastern Cape Vaccine Gaps
Story 2
Sanofi and UNICEF are launching a programme to close childhood vaccination gaps in three Eastern Cape districts.
The initiative will target children in OR Tambo, Alfred Nzo and Amathole who have missed routine vaccines or have not started their vaccinations.
South Africa’s first-dose DTP coverage fell from 87% in 2019 to 67% in 2025, leaving about one in three infants without their first dose.
The programme will run until March 2027, with health teams working in communities to find missed children and strengthen local vaccination services.
