Do You Need A Vaccine Bottle?

They're sobering statistics: each day, 18,000 children die from ailments such as diarrhoea, malaria, and pneumonia. Nearly half of that total expires before their first month. Add to the 800 moms who die daily from ailments such as post-partum haemorrhage and illnesses, higher blood pressure during pregnancy and unsafe abortions. Over half of these maternal and child deaths occur in countries affected by conflict, disasters and fragility.
Many of these deaths can be avoided through low-cost, simple, frequently community-based solutions which improve local health care, enhance access and help to address health inequities for women, children and teens. Working with its international partners, the Canadian Red Cross has made considerable contributions to saving lives in remote, impoverished regions by improving local health systems.
Canadian Red Cross plans to deal with women's and children's health have especially demonstrated critical in states affected by conflict and disaster, where lots of kids and women are cut off from essential health services. Initiatives have included community-based treatment for children with malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia, wellness promotion, obstetric care through area hospitals Emergency Response Units, pre- and - post-natal maintenance, and sanitation upgrades.

Cases of where Canadian Red Cross efforts have made a difference:

● Kenya: Over time, a 45 per cent increase in infants exclusively breastfed for six months.
● Honduras: Urging men to take a larger role in preventing maternal and child mortality.
● Liberia: Increases between 49 and 74 per cent in children treated for diarrhoea, malaria, and pneumonia.
● Mali: Growing number of teens who obtained a healthcare visit by 19 percent.
● Pakistan: delivering tens of thousands of messages encouraging girls to receive antenatal care.
● Philippines: Assisting in the delivery packaging of effervescent tablets over 400 infants in the month after Typhoon Haiyan.
● Syria: Supporting five nourishment centers to treat malnutrition in children.
These have a metal lid, with rubber in the center where the needle moves in to draw the liquid vaccination out. It just seems a pity to throw a lot of cool little bottles off, but they are not recyclable.
I'd be interested in taking these off anybody's hands to use for crafts. I didn't even consider asking my vet for theirs but today I am likely to.
I use similar bottles for clay projects. I get them out of my vets office. She is careful what she gives me. I take them home and clean them up. They decorate them with polymer clay and donate them for bottles of hope. I set my own spin on it and contribute a few straight back into the vet for those that loose their pets. Vet and staff love it. Stores easily and keeps them protected.
