Vaccines are essential health care. Your support can help us broaden access worldwide. SEND SUPPORT

Friend,

Make no mistake: Vaccines are essential health care.

As the vaccination and epidemic response advisor at Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), I’ve seen the impact of vaccines firsthand. Between 3 and 5 million lives are saved each year by vaccines. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

MSF vaccinates millions of people every year in our projects around the world. Although vaccines are a game-changing tool in the fight against preventable disease, not all people who need vaccines have adequate access to them.

That’s why ensuring access to vaccines is critical—and why your support right now can make a big difference. We rely on our generous donor community to help us provide medical care where needs are greatest.

Please consider making a gift today to help ensure our teams can deliver vaccines and other lifesaving treatment during disease outbreaks, conflict, and other emergencies.

For individuals, vaccines: 1) Help the body recognize germs. 2) Reduce severity and duration of a disease. 3) Protect the non-vaccinated. For communities, access to vaccines helps: 1) Keep people out of hospitals. 2) Prevent diseases for which there are no specific treatments. 3) Reduce the use of medicine.

Vaccines are one of the most important public health interventions ever developed. Yet, a quarter of the world's people do not have access to it. Conflict, rising costs, and living in hard-to-reach areas are among the reasons millions of people aren’t vaccinated.

At MSF, we’re working every day to change this. Our teams are responding to outbreaks, increasing preventive vaccination efforts, and advocating for cheaper vaccines. But we need your help to improve access to vaccines for those who need them.

Please make a gift today to fuel our work to deliver health care for millions around the globe.

With gratitude,

John Johnson
Vaccination and Epidemic Response Advisor
