Vaccines have protected us from disease for more than two centuries — from the very first vaccines developed to protect against smallpox, to the newest ones used to prevent severe cases of COVID-19. Since the pandemic, global childhood vaccination rates have declined to their lowest levels in 30 years. This year’s World Immunization Week theme is “The Big Catch-Up,” as the global health community work to get vaccination back on track to ensure more people, especially children, are protected from preventable diseases.
Join Shot@Life as we ask our policymakers to support global vaccine programs in the 2024 U.S budget. Let’s champion the lifesaving power of vaccines as we fight for #VaccinesForAll.

Every $1 invested in vaccination saves more than $50 in healthcare costs, lost wages, and lost productivity due to illness. This makes vaccines one of the most cost-effective global health interventions. #VaccinesWork
