One Shot, One Life
Goal: Vaccinate 157 million children in 2012 together with our Measles Initiative partners.
How will this be achieved? Raise and provide US$10 Million for the Measles Initiative Combine with US$5 Million matching challenge grant from Gates
Foundation Mobilize and educate community members in measles priority
countries about the importance of vaccinations Advocate for investment in routine immunization programs at the
highest levels

We Care. We Serve. We Accomplish.
Why Target Measles?
1. In 2000, about 45.5% of vaccine preventable deaths among children were caused by measles
2. 450 children still die each day from measles complications
8
We Care. We Serve. We Accomplish.
Why Target Measles?
3. The measles vaccine is safe, effective and provides immunity for a lifetime
4. Serious side effects potentially cause life-long adverse health conditions for children
9
We Care. We Serve. We Accomplish.
Why Target Measles?
5. Measles infection has a significant impact on families, e.g. childcare, hospitalization, loss of work, etc.
6. Measles is extremely infectious – 90% of those without immunity will quickly contract measles when exposed to the virus
10
Why Target Measles?
7. Primary health care and routine immunization strengthened by investment in measles vaccination campaigns.
8. Eradication is within reach
9. High quality of life improvement for families
International organizations have been working to eradicate measles since early 1980s because it affects populations in every region of the world.
11
Why Target Measles?
*
*SIA – supplemental immunization activities
Leading experts predict that if support for mass vaccination campaigns decreases, a resurgence of measles is likely.
13
Why Target Measles?
Measles is still the most contagious vaccine preventable disease: www.cfr.org/vaccinemap
2011 Outbreaks14
Why Target Measles?
Recent headlines illustrate how measles can be imported and spread even in areas where indigenous measles has been eliminated.
In addition, infection can spread from unvaccinated people in developed countries who travel to areas where the impact of an outbreak creates dire consequences for the neediest in those communities.
Unvaccinated behind largest U.S. measles outbreak in years (USA Today, Oct. 21, 2011)
Quebec battling major measles outbreak (CBC News, Oct. 27, 2011) 15
We Care. We Serve. We Accomplish.
Global Measles Strategies
Measles Initiative
Since 2001, a partnership of international organizations committed to reducing measles deaths worldwide through mass vaccination campaigns and by strengthening routine immunization. US$750 million has been invested to date.

Global Measles Strategies
Mass Vaccination Campaigns
The process of vaccinating all children in a defined age range in a short period of time, often just a few days or weeks:
• Usually countrywide• Successful campaigns reach 90% of the children targeted• Local Ministries of Health must plan and conduct campaigns with
technical and financial support from Measles Initiative partners• Campaigns are excellent for achieving mass immunity in places
where routine immunization systems are not yet in place
21
Global Measles Strategies
Common challenges in marginalized communities:
Low literacy rates (25 – 50%)Rural areas lack electricity (no TV, radio)No access to healthcare servicesLimited government resourcesNo transportation
22
Global Measles Strategies
Anatomy of a measles vaccination campaign
Starting at least 6 months before the campaign, a committee is formed to map resources and fill gaps:
Distances for transporting vaccineNumbers of children and current vaccination ratesBuildings e.g. clinics, schools, churches for storage and administration of vaccinesHealth professionals already in the area vs. training needs“Cold chain” storage resources, e.g. refrigeratorsWaste disposal, e.g. waste collection and transport or incinerators 23

Social mobilization: Outreach and PR plans

25
Global Measles Strategies
• Integrated campaigns-providing children with other necessary health interventions that improve overall health: o Vitamin A distribution, de-worming
tablets, bednets, etc.
• Integrated measles/rubella surveillance
• Use of MR vaccine (measles + rubella) e.g. Nepal

Success to Date
34
Success to Date
• The Measles Initiative is one of the greatest success stories in public health – a child’s life can be saved for less than US$1!
• Among most cost-effective public health interventionso Measles immunization carries the highest health return for the
money spent, saving more lives per unit cost
• Vaccination provides lifelong immunity
35
Success to Date
Additional benefits of Measles campaigns:
•an improved health infrastructure
•Health services delivery a major goal of Lions
•Supporting the basic immunization delivery system ensures:
o sustainability
o eventual measles eradication
36
Success to Date
Sustaining the gains in months and years ahead:
Maintain and augment routine immunization programs
Follow-up campaigns
Maintain funding levels from both local governments and
international funders
Improve care of infected children to reduce morbidity
Integrate other child health care measures
Keep coverage rates high to avoid importing new cases
37
Lions Growing Commitment
Lions in Madagascar, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Mali supported measles immunization campaigns in Lions year 2010-2011.
39
Lions Growing Commitment
• 2010-2011 Gates Foundation grant of US$400,000 + Lions matched with US$300,000 = US$700,000
• A portion of these funds were awarded to Lions in four pilot countries: Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mali and Nigeria
This funding was used for several key areas of activity in each country:
o Advocacy
o Planning
o Promotion and social mobilization
40
Lions Growing Commitment
Lions in each country participated in local, regional and national level planning and implementation Formed a committee and opened an office dedicated to Measles
Initiative activities Met with WHO and local public health representatives to determine
gaps in campaign plan Strategized solutions to fill gaps and ensure that the most vulnerable
areas were reached
41
Lions Growing Commitment
One critical component of any mass vaccination campaign is ensuring that families participate and have their children vaccinated. Lions played a key role in getting the word out and bringing families in during the days of the campaigns through:
42
TV and radio ads Posting and distribution of fliers Mobile PA messages in targeted
neighborhoods Creating and distributing
promotional items (e.g. T-shirts)
Lions Growing Commitment
As a result, more than 41 million children were vaccinated in the four pilot countries!
Also, healthcare infrastructure improvements included:
•Health workers trained
•Vaccine storage improved
•Safe injection practices promoted
•Surveillance systems implemented
43
Lions Growing Commitment
Madagascar Hired 15,000 community health workers Paid for radio and TV ads to announce the vaccination
campaigns Announced campaigns via rented truck with speakers that drove
through communities Printed and disseminated posters and brochures Involved Leos in outreach Created and publicized a song Government- WHO liaison Extended campaign
44
Lions Growing Commitment
Measles Initiative Feasibility Study
Nearly 150 Personal Interviews with Lions Leaders, as well as 1,500 survey respondents
• 88% approved of expanding Lions’ involvement with the Measles Initiative
• 82% were confident that Lions could mobilize $10 - $15 million in support of measles control
• 90% said that they would support a measles campaign with a personal gift
46
Lions Growing Commitment
LCIF Board of Trustees Meeting in October 2011 in Hong Kong:
After careful consideration of the Feasibility Study, success of pilot projects, and goals of Measles Initiative, LCIF Board of Trustees accepts Gates Challenge and approves plan seeking to raise US$ 10 million by June 2012.
47
One Shot, One Life
US$5 million Challenge Grant awarded to LCIF in October 2011
-for every US$2 raised by Lions, Gates will match with US$1
Deepening the relationship with Gates started last year (more on Measles pilot projects above)
Lions chosen because of: •global reach •commitment to improving health in their communities •serving the underserved•proven track record to change lives for those in greatest need
49
One Shot, One Life
“The Gates Foundation is very proud to have been a partner in your early measles projects, and we’re excited to continue working together. … If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. With Lions in the lead, there is no telling how far we will go together.”
