<p>The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted global health and immunisation. The
UK Government is committed to supporting efforts to get routine immunisation back
on track and has invested £1.65 billion to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance from 2021-2025
to support their mission to immunise 300 million children and save up to 8 million
lives from vaccine preventable diseases over this period. The UK has supported Gavi
since its inception in 2000, during which time Gavi has vaccinated more than 1 billion
children in 78 lower-income countries, saving over 17 million lives. Alongside our
Gavi investment, we are working with countries to build stronger primary health care
systems as a core part of restoring immunisation services.</p>
