The video discusses the severe impact of tetanus on infant mortality, with over 200,000 deaths annually. UNICEF introduces the UNI Ject Vaccine, designed for easy use and distribution in areas lacking refrigeration. The vaccine campaign in Blah village was successful, but challenges arose in Tokoro village due to rumors. UNIGECT plans to expand to six more countries, aiming to vaccinate over 700,000 women by year-end, though complete eradication of tetanus will require more time and resources.
