Bollywood
debutant
Manushi
Chhillar,
who
will
be
seen
opposite
Akshay
Kumar
in
Prithviraj,
has
been
roped
in
by
UNICEF
to
raise
awareness
the
need
for
immunization
of
children
in
India.
Manushi,
who
won
the
coveted
Miss
World
crown
17
years
after
Priyanka
Chopra
bagged
the
honour,
is
a
vocal
citizen
who
uses
her
social
media
to
bring
awareness
on
various
relevant
issues
like
menstrual
hygiene
for
young
girls
in
India.
She
will
be
leading
from
the
front
during
World
Immunization
Week
(April
24-30),
engaging
with
people
on
social
media
to
spread
this
important
message
far
and
wide.
Manushi
says,
"Vaccines
have
helped
generations
of
children
grow
up
in
good
health,
safe
from
infectious
and
dangerous
diseases
like
polio
and
measles.
To
save
lives,
we
must
redouble
our
efforts
to
vaccinate
children
-
particularly
the
most
vulnerable.
We
must
not
let
#COVID19
disrupt
children's
access
to
life-saving
childhood
vaccines."
She
adds,
"Vaccines
will
help
protect
children
from
the
most
devastating
impacts
of
infectious
diseases.
As
we
wait
for
#COVID19
vaccines
to
roll
out
more
widely,
let's
remember
to
vaccinate
our
children
against
other
highly
contagious
diseases
which
remain
a
serious
threat
to
their
lives."
