The UK is the largest donor to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which provides immunisation support to 68 of the world\u2019s poorest countries.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Gavi provides vaccines for 60% of the annual global birth cohort, providing it with strong purchasing power that Gavi then uses to ensure vaccines prices are affordable to low income countries. This model is extremely successful and has reduced the cost of immunising a child with three key vaccines by 17% since 2016. By advocating with vaccine manufacturers to retain affordable prices, Gavi also supports countries transitioning from its support, with every transitioned country since 2016 procuring vaccines at the same or lower price.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Gavi\u2019s scale also enables it to increase coverage and availability of vaccines in the poorest nations. By significantly reducing vaccine prices, Gavi has reduced a principal barrier that has enabled it to support the introduction of 380 vaccines. To ensure these reach the most marginalised, Gavi\u2019s support focuses on areas with the lowest coverage and helps develop strong health systems capable of delivering vaccines.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The effectiveness of Gavi\u2019s model has seen 10 million lives saved from vaccine preventable diseases. In 2020, the UK will proudly host the replenishment of Gavi, providing a strong opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of Gavi to increase access to vaccinations and save lives in the world\u2019s poorest nations.<\/p>"}

Equitable vaccine coverage is therefore a key priority for the UK\u2019s support for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

Gavi will vaccinate an additional 76 million children by 2020, preventing 1.4 million deaths from vaccine preventable diseases.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>As well as providing support to strengthen the overall health system, Gavi focuses on improving access and equity by identifying the populations and geographical areas most likely to be under immunised and at risk of outbreaks. Gavi have also adapted their model to include a Fragility, Emergency and Refugees policy which provides a more quick and flexible response in fragile countries. This has helped reach unimmunised children in places like Syria and in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>As a Gavi Board member, the UK advocates for equitable coverage as a core priority both now and in the future.<\/p>"}
