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").

This non-binding House Resolution (HRES 848) expresses congressional support for U.S. funding of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to expand vaccine access in low-income countries. It highlights Gavi’s role in immunizing over 1.1 billion children since 2000, averting an estimated 18.8 million deaths, and delivering malaria vaccines to combat a disease killing 580,000 children annually in Africa. The resolution emphasizes that U.S. investment leverages global health security by reducing disease spread and returning $54 in economic benefits for every $1 spent. It urges continued U.S. financial commitments to Gavi’s 2026-2030 strategy, which aims to deliver 50 million malaria vaccine doses and strengthen health systems.
