Congratulations to @HelenClarkNZ on her appointment as @Gavi’s next Board Chair. I have been humbled to serve as Chair since 2021, a time when Gavi helped deliver 2 billion COVID-19 vaccines, launched the malaria vaccine and more recently secured funding for its next 5 years.

Malaria is the leading cause of death among young children in Guinea. Health officials hailed the arrival of essential vaccines as an “act of health justice” and a major turning point in the fight to #endmalaria: https://t.co/AMyEJELGtq #VaccinesWork

It’s still the leading cause of death among children under five in Guinea. As the country’s malaria vaccination programme gets going, leaders hope the parasitic infection will soon be in retreat.

Important news from Kenya: a 10-day vaccine campaign has protected 16.1 million children against typhoid. @MOH_Kenya’s successful strategy offers key insights into how to effectively reach children living in the country’s largest slum: https://t.co/afXok8En62

Convenience can be a matter of life or death – that’s why health workers in Kibra, Kenya’s largest slum, bring new jabs to church, to market and to doorsteps.

The difference between a contained outbreak and a global emergency often comes down to one thing: speed. With @Gavi-funded vaccine stockpiles, we can move faster and save more lives. Donors that invest in Gavi are strengthening the world’s defences against deadly outbreaks.

Every ingredient in a vaccine has a purpose – and decades of research to confirm its safety. Great @Gavi explainer breaking down each ingredient and the safety checks and balances in place. Vaccines are safe, effective and rigorously checked:

Vaccines contain more than just the antigens that train our immune systems. From adjuvants to preservatives, every ingredient has a purpose – and decades of research to confirm its safety.
