#BumpItForward and gift the equivalent cost of your vaccine (c.£25) to help protect healthcare workers in African countries until the vaccine reaches them.

Story

As the COVID vaccine rolls out, people in wealthier countries can access it quickly and for free. The second wave of COVID-19 has hit Africa with great force and devastating impact. It may be some time before they can receive the vaccine with frontline healthcare workers being most at risk.

As a vaccine costs c£25 we are asking DSW employees and partners to gift half (£12.50) with DSW matching this to provide the full cost. We are raising money for health systems which are already woefully under-resourced, dealing with a second wave and new strain of COVID-19 is a monumental challenge. 

You can help by donating the equivalent cost of your vaccine, to protect them until they can get theirs. To sign up for further updates, click here: https://www.lstmed.ac.uk/bump-it-forward
