Help Children in Developing Countries Reach Their 5th Birthday

Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a vaccine-preventable disease.

Immunization is one of the world’s biggest public health success stories.  Yet, 1 in 5 children still lacks access to life-saving vaccines.  By increasing access to vaccines, we can save millions of children’s lives and also save billions of dollars through reduced treatment costs and gains in productivity.  Congress plays a key role in ensuring that children in developing countries have access to life-saving vaccines. Every year, Congress funds vital global immunization programs, ensuring life-saving vaccines reach the children who need them the most. But in order for this support to continue, Congress needs to hear from you!

Vaccines are cost-effective, safe, and help save the lives of millions of children.   Tell Congress that you support fully funding global vaccine programs by sending a letter to your elected officials now!
