Hi John, A child’s first steps. That first wiggly tooth. The first time they smile or laugh. Every parent deserves to see ‘first’ moments like these. Since 2000, the world - together with US support - has made remarkable progress in preventing more than 17 million deaths from preventable diseases like pneumonia, hepatitis, and HPV. That’s 17 million more ‘firsts,’ big and small. When kids are protected from infectious diseases, they can go to school, their parents can go to work, and their community can thrive. But this doesn’t mean we can sit on our heels. Because of growing global conflicts, displacement, and COVID-19-related disruptions, some 20.5 million children missed out on life-saving vaccines in 2022.

This December (that’s a lot sooner than you think!) world leaders will gather to announce just how much they’ll pledge to fund global vaccine programs over the next few years. You don’t need to be a parent to know that all kids deserve a shot at life. If you agree that we must do everything we can to end preventable diseases, join us! Leading up to the big event, we’ll be in contact with more opportunities to take action. Stay tuned. Kelli Meyer, ONE |
