UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson has hailed the generosity of the Irish public as he announced donations for UNICEF’s Get a Vaccine, Give a Vaccine campaign have passed the 2 million doses mark.As a result of the campaign, UNICEF will now deliver two million life-saving Covid-19 vaccine doses to healthcare workers and vulnerable people in some of the world’s least developed countries.
He said: "I am so proud to announce that the Irish public has now donated over two million Covid-19 vaccine dose deliveries. It is incredible. The pandemic has shown us that we are all in this together. And the generous response to UNICEF’s Get a Vaccine, Give a Vaccine campaign in Ireland has been so inspiring to witness and be part of.
Neeson launched UNICEF Ireland’s campaign in June, voicing an inspiring TV and radio campaign and encouraging people to ‘give a vaccine’ when they ‘get a vaccine’.
