Pneumonia is the # 1 infectious killer of children under 5 globally. Yet, 50% of kids under 5 aren’t fully protected with pneumonia-fighting vaccines. Increased access to these platforms will save lives and ensure children can thrive. #WorldPneumoniaDay bit.ly/2YGWrqR

At least one child dies every minute from pneumonia - a largely preventable and treatable disease - every day. We must step up and tackle this forgotten epidemic. #pneumonia #WorldPneumoniaDay2021 @savechildrenuk @UNICEF @Stop_Pneumonia

The past year has seen the world focus on COVID-19, but pneumonia is not a new global health threat: In 2017, pneumonia killed more than 2.5 million people and 1/3 of them were under the age of 5 years.

A child < 5 year dies of pneumonia every 30 second. Pneumococcal vaccination ( PCV) in children and adults will prevent pneumonia. #Fightpneumonia #WorldPneumoniaDay2021

Did you know that at least one child dies of pneumonia every minute around the world? As a preventable and treatable disease this is simply inexcusable. Today on #WorldPneumoniaDay it is time for governments to step up and tackle this forgotten epidemic.

2.5 million lives were lost to Pneumonia in 2019. Pneumonia is preventable: Ensure good nutrition, good immunity, good hand hygiene, no smoking, good quality indoor and outdoor air. You can get yourself vaccinated too. #WorldPneumoniaDay
