“As Covid-19 vaccines are being rolled out across the world, the new sticker pack aims to encourage vaccine uptake and represents hope,” Andy Pattison, Team Lead, Digital Channels, WHO said in a press statement. “Covid-19 vaccines will be a gamechanger, but, for now, we must continue to wear a mask, physically distance, avoid crowds, ventilate indoor spaces and clean hands.”

Also, to offer verified information on Covid-19, WhatsApp has also joined forces with over 150 national, state and local governments, as well as organisations including the WHO and UNICEF.
