EDITORIAL                     O N Ethe official One4All-All4One newsletter                      e at One4All-All4One are extremely excited to administer this first dose of ONE™.                    We sincerely hope you will find the newsletter insightful, informative, and rele-                        vant to the period we are in.                       It has been quite an adventurous journey from when we launched the project                 through to the time, we held our 1st and 2nd participatory workshops in March and  May 2021, respectively. This issue, being our first, particularly focuses on events before, during  and after our first workshop which introduced participants to their involvement in the co-  creation of resources aimed at immortalising the discussion on Vaccines, Immunization and  Community Immunity, also referred to as Community Protection. Vaccines and Community  Immunity are at the heart of One4All so much so that our lead, Dr. Kondwani Jambo, discuss-  es the subject on the exclusive interview page.    You will also appreciate that this opening edition of ONE seeks to introduce the project, that  is why the About section features the process that led to the identification of stakeholders  and focus areas for project.    I will not do any justice if I don’t mention our deliberate effort of partnering with young peo-  ple on the project. ONE has more than two pages dedicated to issues concerning the youth.  It is our interest to strategically place youth at the centre of the discussion on Vaccines and  Community Immunity.    Finally, thanks to numerous individuals who provided their support towards the successful de-  velopment of this newsletter. Over and above that, thanks to our amazing funders who have  given us the resources and an enabling environment to aid the continuous publication of  ONE.    We urge you, our esteemed reader, to share this newsletter with your colleagues, family and  friends. Most importantly we look forward to your feedback to make the next issue of ONE,  due early next year, even more exciting.
