Canadians know that #VaccinesWork because they have saved more lives in Canada than any other medical intervention in the past 50 years. Thanks to immunization efforts, Canada has been polio free for the last 20 years, and children are protected from devastating diseases like pneumonia and measles. Unfortunately not every child has access to these life-saving vaccines and 1.5 million children around the world die every year from vaccine-preventable diseases. Let’s work together to send polio to the history books and ensure that no child dies from a vaccine-preventable disease.

Before volunteering with Results, I was so intimidated to write a letter to the editor but they gave me the tools to write one about immunizations and it ended up getting published! I feel so empowered to continue making a difference.

As the world grapples with the quickly evolving coronavirus, I wanted to reach out on behalf of all of us here at Results Canada and let you know that we hope you, your family and loved ones are safe and healthy. I also wanted to assure you that our work to advocate for those living in extreme poverty continues. Now more than ever, we must come together as a community.
