Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
Gavi works to increase access to vaccines in low-income countries, forming Partnerships between governments, international organizations and the private sector to immunize children and prevent preventable diseases.
Vaccines are one of the greatest advances in medicine, developed to protect human health by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight infectious agents.
Vaccine development involves rigorous scientific studies and clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy. This process resulted in the eradication of diseases such as smallpox and the significant reduction of others, such as measles and polio.
In addition to protecting individuals, vaccines contribute to herd immunity, slowing the spread of disease and saving millions of lives globally.
