In 2020, 23 million children missed out on basic childhood vaccines, the highest number in over a decade. These vaccinations protect children from preventable diseases like polio and measles, which killed millions of people before vaccines were available. We deliver vaccines because they save more than five lives every minute, preventing up to 3 million deaths a year — but the pandemic has disrupted our efforts. Now we need your help to get Congress to help us protect children from preventable deaths.

The COVID-19 pandemic has cost us critical ground that we can’t afford to lose — children’s lives are on the line. Without increased support from Congress, we may not be able to deliver these vaccines and preventable deaths will increase.
Speak out today and tell Congress to prioritize children’s lives and their chances of survival >>
