Virgin Atlantic is supporting the World Health Organisation (WHO) Foundations Go Give One campaign through onboard donations this December. The campaign funds Covid-19 vaccines for middle and lower-income countries to help close the global vaccine equity gap.
As the impact of Covid-19 continues globally, the campaign calls on everyone, everywhere to play their part in helping to offer much needed vaccines to the world. Created by the WHO Foundation, the money raised goes to an international financing mechanism called Gavi COVAX Advanced Market Commitment (AMC), which buys COVID-19 vaccines, prioritising those who need them the most in countries that cannot afford them. The campaign is asking individuals to donate £4, which is the cost of a single vaccine, with the aim to get 50 million people across the world to take part.
Corneel Koster, Chief Customer and Operating Officer, Virgin Atlantic, commented:Its evident that Covid-19 is something we must learn to live with. We know that en masse vaccine programmes work, thanks to the success weve seen in developed nations around the world, but unless we support lower-income countries in accessing these vaccines, we will not beat this global threat. By supporting the World Health Organisation in raising funds for the Go Give One campaign through our onboard donations this month, our teams and customers can play a part in helping to close the gap. The WHO foundation and Virgin Atlantic are grateful for every contribution.
It costs just £4 to buy a vaccine, meaning even the smallest donations can go a long way. Successful vaccination programmes are the route out of the pandemic and we must all play our part in combatting this virus; together we can do our bit to offer vaccines to the world and beat Covid
Anil Soni, Chief Executive Officer, WHO Foundation said:Getting vaccines to people who need them most is vital to help end the pandemic. We are delighted to have Virgin Atlantic support vaccine equity through the Go Give One campaign with onboard donations and the additional donation through the Foundation. The travel industry has been stepping up through our coalition efforts. Only by working together can we close the gap and ensure vaccines for everyone, everywhere.

A veteran Newfoundland producer, Annette will remain with the studio to complete her ongoing projects before retiring from the NFB at the end of March, 2022.
John Christou, Director of Production & Operations for the NFB English Program, has been named Interim Executive Producer, effective September 24, 2021.

Throughout her career, whether as a Marketing Manager, Producer or Executive Producer, she has admirably embodied the values of the NFB and has been much appreciated by her team and collaborators. I’m delighted that Annette will continue to work as a producer until March 31, so we’ll have the pleasure of having her with us for a few more months!” said Julie Roy, Director General of Creation and Innovation at the NFB.
Annette first joined the NFB in 1987 in St. John’s, and in 1989 moved to Montreal to work with Studio D, where she also began her producing career.
