Bill Summary

Supporting the role of the United States in helping save the lives of children and protecting the health of people in low-income countries with vaccines and immunization through Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance ("Gavi").

AI Summary

This Resolution affirms the United States' continued support for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, a public-private partnership established in 2000 to improve access to life-saving vaccines in low-income countries. Gavi, which includes partners like UNICEF and the WHO, has significantly reduced child mortality by expanding immunization programs, introducing new vaccines, and making them more affordable. The Resolution highlights Gavi's success in averting millions of deaths, its focus on country ownership and sustainability, and its role in strengthening global health security, including efforts to combat diseases like malaria and COVID-19. It encourages multi-year pledges from the U.S. to ensure predictability for Gavi's programs and calls for increased U.S. commitment and investment for the 2026-2030 strategic period to continue saving lives through vaccination.
