Twilio helps more than 300 million people access COVID-19 vaccines and trusted information

What's this blog post about?

Twilio is helping more than 300 million people access COVID-19 vaccines and trusted information through its technology, funding, and partnerships with organizations such as UNICEF, Save the Children, and Civic Nation. The company has committed $18 million in vaccine equity grants to support global vaccination efforts, including $10 million to Gavi's COVAX program, which aims to provide COVID-19 vaccines to low-income countries. Twilio is also working with its customers and grantees to build digital engagement across the vaccine lifecycle, from sourcing to distributing shots, and helping people schedule appointments and drive interest in getting vaccinated. The company believes that focusing on vaccine distribution is a crucial way to make an impact during the pandemic, as every vaccination not only protects individual lives but also reduces community spread and tames the evolution of variants.
