Organisations like UNICEF, UNDP, The Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank, and WHO launched the Children’s Vaccine Initiative, aiming to boost vaccine coverage, research, and supply coordination.
Gavi has since allocated approximately $23 billion to increase global immunisations in low- and middle-income countries, with support from donors, including the United Kingdom, Norway, the United States, and the Gates Foundation.The group has made remarkable strides in global health since its inception in 2000, vaccinating over 1 billion children in the world’s poorest countries and preventing more than 17.3 million deaths.
