While Paige and Gretchen were at the Pampers facility in Cincinnati, Ohio they learned about a wonderfully easy way to help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Jodi Allen, Vice President of North American Baby Care, explained the devastating claim this disease has had on the lives of newborns and mothers in developing countries. The good news is that Pampers has partnered with UNICEF in a campaign to eliminate neonatal tetanus through a program of low cost vaccines. UNICEF spokesperson Salma Hayek says, “In our own small way, this is an opportunity for moms like me here in the U.S. to help other mothers on a global level.” Watch the show to learn how easily you can help save a life!
