Support Vaccination with #CapAction Campaign

The Japan Committee for Vaccines for Children, known as JCV, is excited to announce the fourth annual #CapAction campaign this June, coinciding with Environmental Month. From June 1 to June 30, 2026, every social media post tagged with '#CapAction' will contribute to providing vaccinations for children in developing countries.

Simple Steps to Contribute

Participating in the campaign is easy and can be done through Instagram, X, or Threads. Simply share a photo or video featuring bottle caps and include the hashtag '#CapAction'. For each post, JCV will coordinate with participating companies to provide one vaccination for a child. Last year, the initiative gained even more traction, collecting 15,357 posts — a notable increase of nearly 4,000 from the previous year.

Recycling and Supporting Health

In addition to boosting vaccination efforts, the caps collected during this campaign can be recycled. By handing over the used caps to designated recycling centers or participating supermarkets, these caps will be transformed back into plastic materials. A portion of the proceeds from their sale will further support vaccination programs. It’s a win-win for the environment and for children's health!

How to Join

To take part in the '#CapAction' campaign, follow these steps:
1. Post: Share a photo or video of bottle caps on social media with the hashtag '#CapAction'. Any bottle cap related images count, including those of drinks, recycling activities, or even creative cap art.
2. Timeline: The campaign runs from June 1 to June 30, 2026.
3. Impact: Your post can lead to vaccination donations supplied to children in Myanmar, Laos, Bhutan, and Vanuatu, countries benefitting from this support.

Sponsorship and Support

We are also seeking corporate supporters for the campaign. Companies can contribute by donating starting from 10,000 yen, with funds directly aiding vaccine donations. Sponsoring organizations will receive various promotional opportunities, including featuring their logo in campaign materials and potential recognition on social media.

Sponsorship Plans:

• - Plan A: 10,000 yen
• - Plan B: 30,000 yen
• - Plan C: 50,000 yen

Each sponsorship plan comes with its own benefits, such as exclusive campaign mentions, promotional materials, and opportunities for personalized outreach and recognition of your contributions.

The Impact of Your Participation

In 2022, approximately 156,000 vaccinations against polio were made possible through our collective efforts. This is a reminder of how small actions can lead to monumental outcomes in protecting children's lives.

Year after year, numerous recycling locations across Japan participate, helping turn what might be waste into life-saving resources for vulnerablechildren in dire need of vaccinations.
