Did you know every 20 seconds a child dies from this disease? Terribly sad- but true, pneumonia kills over 2 million children. It’s the #1 cause of death to children under age five, worldwide– out ranking AIDS, measles, and malaria combined! Vicks together with its partner, Save the Children, are supporting the Global Coalition Against Child Pneumonia to help raise global awareness and understanding of pneumonia.
The good news is that pneumonia is easily preventable via vaccines and treatable via antibiotics. Most of these children’s lives can be saved by bringing attention to this deadly disease. Please help Vicks, a leader in respiratory health for more than 100 years and their partner, Save the Children, support this cause and join the fight to save children’s lives by spreading the word.
And today is the day to help bring awareness to this easily treatable infection. Today, World Pneumonia Day! So test your knowledge in Save the Children’s online trivia game – powered by Vicks and see how much you know about this disease.
