Support Vaccines For All
World leaders have 4 hours to save 4 million children's lives.
On June 13 the UK is hosting a half day global vaccination summit in London where world leaders and decision makers will decide how to get vaccines to the world's poorest children.
The jabs we take for granted in the UK are not available to 1 in 5 children worldwide.
Over the last decade, millions of children have been immunised -- protection that saves two and half million children every year. That's a staggering 7,000 lives every day. But many of the most marginalised children from the poorest countries, who are at most risk of dying from diseases, are still missing out.
The global immunisation drive led by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations (GAVI) is the best way to end this injustice. If GAVI's work is fully funded, 4 million more children's lives could be saved by 2015.
Time is running out before the global vaccines conference. Call on leaders to fully fund vaccines for the world's poorest children.
Dear World Leaders,
On 13 June, you can save 4 million lives in 4 hours if you fully fund vaccines for the world's poorest children.
Today one in five children worldwide receives no vaccines at all -- they are the poorest, most marginalised children most at risk of killer illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhoea and measles.
In this day and age no child should die from a disease that could be prevented by immunisation.
Vaccines save lives. This is the opportunity. Please take it.
