Investing in routine #immunizations for people of all ages who need them are an important pillar of #GlobalHealthSecurity. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) shares this perspective on why vaccines are critical to advancing #GlobalHealth. Preventing disease outbreaks and preparing for and responding to pandemics means ensuring that vaccines reach everyone. Some highlights from this publication include: 📢Preventing Outbreaks: Routine immunizations not only save lives but also halt disease outbreaks by building robust infrastructure for vaccine distribution. 📢Pandemic Preparedness: The #COVID19 pandemic underscored the need to vaccinate people of all ages swiftly. We need inclusive immunization strategies to respond effectively to future health crises. 📢Funding for Impact: Gavi, in partnership with the Government of France and the African Union , seeks $9 billion to enhance vaccine access in low-income countries, crucial for closing global immunization gaps. 📢US Commitment: The US pledged $1.58 billion over the next five years to Gavi, signaling its commitment to global health security through comprehensive vaccine coverage across all age groups. 📢Moving Forward: Strengthening vaccine delivery beyond childhood is key. By supporting local vaccine production and advocating for universal immunization, we protect communities and promote economic stability. We should seize this moment to build resilient #HealthSystems that protect everyone, from children to the elderly, against preventable diseases. Together, we can ensure that immunization serves as a lifelong safeguard for health and prosperity: https://ow.ly/ZHcf50SJw6G
