Every spring during Advocate to Vaccinate, Shot@Life advocates from across the nation raise their voices to help increase vaccine access for children and people around the world, beginning on March 20 and culminating with World Immunization Week (April 24-30). Building on the momentum of our meetings in Capitol Hill, advocates from all 50 states will rally together to encourage policymakers to fund investments in global vaccine programs in the U.S. budget and raise awareness around the importance of vaccine equity.

We are at a watershed moment in the history of global health. Hard-won gains in stamping out diseases that are preventable through vaccination are in jeopardy. Decades of collaborative efforts between governments, aid agencies, scientists, healthcare workers, and parents got us to where we are today –– a world where we’ve eradicated smallpox and almost eradicated polio.
Under the banner, ‘Immunization for All is Humanly Possible’, World Immunization Week 2025 aims to ensure even more children, adolescents, adults – and their communities – are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccines are proof that less disease, more life is possible when we put our minds to it.

#1: Vaccines Work
Global immunizations have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years—that’s one life every 10 seconds, for five decades.
U.S. leadership made this progress possible, but the work isn't done. Vaccines can help us prevent cancer and beat malaria—but only if we invest. #WorldImmunizationWeek
#2: Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
Since 2000, @Gavi has vaccinated more than 1 billion kids and saved more than 19 million lives. With continued US support and partnership, Gavi can vaccinate another 500 million kids in the next 5 years and roll out new vaccines against malaria, Ebola, meningitis and more. #HealthForAll
#3: Keeping America Safe:
In just 36 hours, a disease in a remote village on another continent can reach an American city.
Stopping diseases at their source doesn’t just save lives. It keeps Americans safe by preventing diseases from spreading—before they reach our shores. #WorldImmunizationWeek
GENERAL POSTS:
#1
Thanks to vaccines, more children grow up to adulthood than at any time in human history. The U.S. has helped build and sustain the global health programs that made this possible.
