When communities are protected from infectious diseases, people can work, children can go to school, and economies can thrive.

Vaccine are one of humanity’s greatest achievements, but their distribution is not equal.
In Africa, 98.9% of the continent’s vaccine supply is produced outside of the continent. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed this weakness: During the COVID-19 pandemic, this became a big issue as rich countries monopolized vaccines. Wealthy nations monopolized doses, African countries were left waiting, and vulnerable.
In 2021, the African Union and Africa CDC set a bold goal to prevent this from happening again. They set out to produce...

In 2005, Nelson Mandela delivered a speech in the center of London and called on a new generation to be great. He had three clear demands – to make trade fair, cancel unpayable debt, and increase and improve the quality of aid. He called on all of us to act for justice.

The world has made remarkable progress in vaccinating children over the past 24 years, thanks to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Since it was founded in 2000, Gavi has raised over $22 billion in direct contributions to support immunization efforts...
The 2024 Olympics in Paris have officially begun and like the rest of the world, we are watching. We love seeing these amazing athletes represent their countries for the gold and tracking the numbers on which countries are getting the most medals. But we also had a few other data points in mind this Olympics.

A LOT of money and time went into making this year’s Olympic games happen....
Did you know that vaccines are one of the most cost-effective health tools ever invented? Or that immunization is one of humanity’s greatest achievements?
It’s pretty impressive that something as small as a needle or as simple as a few orally administered droplets could save so many lives. Ensuring everyone can access vaccines is one of the biggest ways we can fight not only preventable diseases, but also inequality and poverty.
Here are six facts about the power of vaccines.
