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

"Global Immunization: Fifty Years of Progress and Opportunities Ahead" by the Gates Foundation as a pivotal call to action. It underscores the monumental strides achieved in global immunization over the past half century while highlighting the pressing imperative for continued advancement. Immunization stands as a cornerstone of public health policy, offering a cost-effective means to save lives and mitigate the impact of infectious diseases. The Gates Foundation's steadfast commitment to advancing immunization efforts, particularly in marginalized communities, exemplifies a commendable dedication to global health equity. In conclusion, "Global Immunization: Fifty Years of Progress and Opportunities Ahead" serves as a rallying cry for political leaders worldwide. It underscores the imperative for sustained investment in immunization programs and the shared responsibility to ensure equitable access to vaccines for all. Let us heed this call and unite in our efforts to build a healthier, more resilient global community. The importance of vaccination cannot be overstated; they have "saved an estimated 154 million lives—or the equivalent of six lives every minute of every year—over the past 50 years. The vast majority of lives saved—101 million—were those of infants".#Immunization #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #HealthForAll 💉🌍 https://lnkd.in/dQeMXSYz

Did you know? The past 50 years of immunization efforts have resulted in saving an estimated 154 million lives, equivalent to 6 lives every minute! 💉 The World Health Organization has extensively studied the impact of these efforts, highlighting the crucial role vaccines play in global health. But the impact goes beyond just numbers. Immunization is the single greatest contribution to ensuring healthy lives, especially for infants. The study, soon to be published in The Lancet, underscores the critical role vaccines play in preventing diseases like measles, reducing infant mortality by 40% globally. 🌍 At Coolfinity, we're committed to supporting these life-saving initiatives. Our medical refrigerators play a vital role in preserving vaccines, ensuring they reach everyone who needs them, even in remote areas with unreliable power grids. 💡 Join us in celebrating this monumental achievement and reaffirming our commitment to public health during World Immunization Week, April 24–30, 2024. Together, let's continue to make the impossible possible! 💪 #Coolfinity #WHO #publichealth #healthcare #CoolfinityCares #Immunization #VaccinesWork https://lnkd.in/eH7VZMzQ

Fifty years ago, the world was forever changed by the launch of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI)—a groundbreaking global effort to ensure ALL children have access to life-saving vaccines. Since then, the impact of vaccines on child health around the world has been nothing short of miraculous. During the last 50 years, vaccines have saved an estimated 154 million lives—that’s six lives every minute—around the world. But the work isn’t finished yet. And today there are several challenges that threaten to set this progress back—from military conflicts and humanitarian crises to climate change. Still, the success of the last 50 years serves as a powerful reminder that vaccines are one of the best tools we have to protect people from preventable diseases. By continuing to invest in immunization, it’s #HumanlyPossible to achieve a healthier, more equitable future for all.

This year, World Immunization Week celebrates 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) which was established by WHO member states at the World Health Assembly in 1974. I am proud to have contributed to this tremendous collaboration with colleagues and partners to conduct the most comprehensive modeling analysis of historical impact to date (stay tuned for publication on the Lancet). A few key highlights: 🌍 The global immunization efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives, 6 lives every minute of every year, over the last 50 years. 🌎 Global infant mortality has declined substantially since 1974. Vaccination has accounted for 40% of that decline. 🌏 A child today is at least 40 percent more likely to survive to their next birthday than a hypothetical scenario of no vaccination. Increased survival probability is observed even well into late adulthood. Our task is not complete... until we have everyone, everywhere, at every age fully benefit from vaccines to improve their health and well-being! #HumanlyPossible #VaccinesWork #WorldImmunizationWeek

Health Advocate and Strategic Communicator: Shaping Public Perception for Positive Change, Partner at FINN Partners, Associate shareholder and board member, Baird's CMC,
Celebrating 50 Years of Life-Saving Immunization A groundbreaking study published by The Lancet reveals a staggering truth: over the past half-century, global immunization efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives – that's six lives rescued every minute! Led by the World Health Organization (WHO), this study underscores the unparalleled impact of vaccines in safeguarding the health and well-being of communities worldwide. From the eradication of smallpox to the brink of polio eradication, vaccines have been instrumental in shaping a healthier, more resilient world. Yet, amidst these triumphs, challenges remain. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted routine immunization efforts, leaving 67 million children vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases. Now, more than ever, we must increase our efforts to protect and extend the gains of immunization to every corner of the globe. Join me in honouring the remarkable achievements of global immunization efforts and advocating for a world where vaccines are accessible to all. Together, we can make a difference. 💪💉 #VaccinesWork #GlobalHealth #ImmunizationImpact https://lnkd.in/e5HfpsHp.

The passage highlights several reasons why continued investment in immunization is crucial, even with the impressive progress made: 1. **Unfinished Business:** Despite saving millions, there are still children missing out on vaccines due to various challenges. Reaching these children is vital to maximize the positive impact. 2. **Emerging Threats:** Military conflicts, humanitarian crises, and climate change can disrupt access to vaccines and healthcare, potentially causing setbacks in the progress made against preventable diseases. 3. **Future Potential:** Vaccines remain one of the most effective tools we have to safeguard people's health. Investing in research and development can lead to new vaccines and address emerging health threats. 4. **Equity and Healthier Future:** By ensuring everyone has access to vaccines, we can create a more equitable world where everyone has the chance to live a healthy life. In essence, while we celebrate past achievements, continued investment in immunization is essential to overcome current challenges, prepare for future threats, and build a healthier, more equitable world for all.
