Delighted to welcome @Gavi and @UNICEF’s deal to reduce the price of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine by approximately 40%. This deal was enabled by the International Finance Facility for Immunisation and is expected to save ~US$ 50 million between 2027-2029: bit.ly/4kaLpkU

The lower the cost, the greater the impact! We’re proud to announce our new deal with @UNICEF to reduce the price of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine by approximately 40%, saving US$ 50 million between 2027-2029: bit.ly/4kaLpkU

As demand for malaria vaccines grows, this could protect up to one million more children with the full four-dose course or help countries reach more children with other vaccines.

In 2025, countries immunised more than 73 million children with Gavi support, more than in any previous year. This takes the total since 2000 past 1.3 billion, which is roughly one in six people alive today. Here’s how global immunisation is helping build a healthier, more equitable future: gavi.org/progress-report

Fridge-free vaccines could transform immunisation services. But technology alone won't solve the challenge of reaching every child. Here’s why experts caution that this innovation, while welcome, is not a silver bullet for the communities most often left behind: bit.ly/4ifzUWV Via The Conversation

Vaccines are often said to be victims of their own success because people forget how devastating these preventable diseases can be. But when vaccine rates fall, these forgotten diseases can return with a vengeance, with devastating consequences: bit.ly/482xuWU Via The Conversation

Malaria elimination can sound like an impossible goal, but in Ghana, it’s starting to look increasingly tangible. Sustained investment in vaccines, prevention, treatment and community engagement has led to a 98% reduction in deaths since 2011, putting elimination “within reach.” Read the full story: bit.ly/4e80yQg

“Now, we can visit the health facility at any hour of the day or night.” For Sara, solar power means healthcare closer to home, even after dark. With @gavi support, @UNICEF has helped solar-power 296 health facilities across Zambia, strengthening care and immunization.

Four countries introduced #typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) with @gavi support in 2025, reaching more than 80M children through introduction campaigns. 👏 Celebrating our progress to #TakeOnTyphoid and other preventable diseases!
2025 put health systems under enormous pressure, from conflict and climate shocks to rising debt and unprecedented cuts to development assistance. Yet amid that historic uncertainty, countries continued to expand protection against preventable disease, reach more children and invest more of their own resources in immunisation. Gavi’s latest Annual Progress Report captures the scale of that progress, and the work that still lies ahead. Scroll down through eight numbers that help tell the story of 2025, and read more about what sustained investment in vaccines has made possible on VaccinesWork: bit.ly/4jJbqrh
