Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance

As G20 politicians gather in Rio de Janeiro, the shadow of mpox looms large, a stark reminder that the world's health is inextricably linked. We were proud to co-host a G20 event with Africa CDC, CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations), Digital Square at PATH, Wellcome Trust, PATH and World Health Organization on scaling up the #mpox response. How is Gavi applying lessons learned from the #COVID19 pandemic to help tackle the #mpox emergency? From innovative financing mechanisms to a commitment to build a vaccine stockpile, we’re turning lessons into action: The First Response Fund was designed in collaboration with Gavi donors and partners specifically to provide rapid early funding for emergencies such as #mpox. We thank our donors for enabling us to act rapidly by committing funds to this Fund before an emergency occurred and call for continued support to allow for fast and effective responses to future health crises.
