Bill > SRes684

This Resolution affirms the United States' commitment to supporting Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, an international public-private partnership established in 2000 to improve access to vaccines in low-income countries. Gavi, which includes partners like UNICEF and the WHO, has been instrumental in increasing immunization rates, averting millions of child deaths, and making vaccines more affordable and accessible. The resolution supports Gavi's goals of introducing and scaling up immunizations, improving program sustainability, ensuring healthy vaccine markets, and strengthening health systems, recognizing that this support also enhances health security in the United States. It encourages continued multiyear pledges from the U.S. to Gavi, particularly for the 2026-2030 strategic period, to ensure continued progress in saving lives through vaccination and to address critical health challenges like malaria and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
