One Pack = One Vaccine


I know many of you that read my blog already use Pampers, but I just wanted to let you know about this cool thing Pampers is doing now through the beginning of May. For every package of Pampers you buy (well, ones that are specially marked anyway), one infant or mother will receive a tetanus vaccination. Tetanus doesn't sound that threatening, but I read a stat that it claims a life approximately every four minutes. The risk of tetanus of completely eliminated with the vaccine though which is pretty cool.

Also if you collect points through the Gifts to Grow program, you can redeem your points for a vaccines. 1 point = 1 vaccine. I never feel like the point values equal the products. However, in this case it seems totally worth it. Also they have onesies available for 10 points; if you purchase one of those it also provides a tetanus vaccine.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know about this cool program.

yeah, i think in 3rd world countries, they don't sterilize their tools at delivery, so tetnus is more rampant.
