\u201cImmunization has been a great public health success story. The lives of millions of children have been saved, millions have the chance of a longer healthier life, a greater chance to learn, to play, to read and write, to move around freely without suffering.\u2019\u2019 - <\/span>Nelson Mandela, advocate, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, former President of South Africa and former chair of Gavi<\/span><\/p><\/div>\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

A few years ago, Hauwa Ibrahim\u2018s<\/a> second child nearly died because essential vaccines were out of reach. Hauwa wanted to vaccinate her baby, but the clinic was 22 kilometres away from her home in Kwamarawa, Nigeria \u2013 too far and too expensive to access. Worse, heavy floods had made the road inaccessible. Without protection, her child contracted measles and had severe malnutrition. Fortunately, the child survived, but Hauwa\u2019s story is a stark reminder of what\u2019s at stake for millions of children, who go without lifesaving shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hauwa\u2019s experience mirrors that of millions of zero-dose children, who often live in isolated, underserved areas or are\u202faffected by conflict or climate change. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, was created in 2000 to address these inequities and has already helped vaccinate more than half the world's\u202fchildren, reducing vaccine-preventable deaths by 70% in partner countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But vaccines are more than a tool for disease prevention \u2013 they are foundational to ensuring that children grow up healthy, educated, and able to contribute to their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ask<\/strong>: We call on Canada to invest #ForOurFuture by ensuring that life-saving vaccines #ReachEveryChild. Canada must support the scale-up of existing vaccines and the access to new, exciting innovations by making a pledge of at least CAD$ 720 million to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance\u2019s 2026-2030 Strategy.\u202f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
