Bill > HRes848

This resolution supports the United States' role in supporting Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, an international public-private partnership that helps provide vaccines to children in low-income countries. The resolution highlights Gavi's significant achievements since 2000, including supporting vaccine initiatives in 78 countries that have immunized over 1.1 billion children and averted an estimated 18.8 million deaths. The resolution affirms the United States Government's continued support for Gavi, recognizing it as a cost-effective method to reduce child and maternal mortality, improve global health security, and support vaccine market sustainability. Key provisions include supporting Gavi's principles of introducing routine immunizations, improving program sustainability, ensuring vaccine market health, and strengthening health systems. The resolution also encourages continued multi-year financial commitments from the United States to maximize Gavi's impact, particularly during its 2026-2030 strategic period, and emphasizes the significant economic and health benefits of vaccine programs, which are estimated to yield $54 in health and economic savings for every $1 invested.
