Vaccines are one of humanity’s greatest achievements. They are proof that anything is humanly possible when we put our minds to it. In the last 50 years alone, they’ve saved an estimated 154 million lives – that’s more than 3 million lives a year or six people every minute for five decades. To ensure that the successes of the past 50 years are built on over the next 50 years, ongoing investments are needed. Every new child born deserves the benefit of these vaccines. That’s why in 2024, we’re calling on governments to prioritize investments in immunization.
Let’s unite to protect this incredible progress and ensure the next generation of children remains safe from disease.
A world with immunization for all? That’s #HumanlyPossible.
