Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has its billion dollar grant cut by Trump administration
Briefly

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has successfully vaccinated 1.1 billion children globally since its inception in 2000, focusing on lower-resource nations. It financially assists countries to acquire vaccines and supports the logistics of distribution. While the United States has been a prominent contributor, its recent cancellation of a promised $2.53 billion grant poses new challenges for Gavi in securing future funding. Despite this setback, Gavi continues to promote self-sufficiency in vaccine programs, encouraging nations like Indonesia to transition from beneficiaries to donors.
