The UK has reduced funding to a global vaccine alliance that immunises millions of children by £400 million, amid a wider raft of foreign aid cuts that campaigners fear will cost lives.
Gavi – formerly the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunsations – helps buy vaccines and deliver them to low-income countries. It has set a goal of vaccinating 500 million children against diseases including measles, cholera and malaria over the next five years – saving up to eight million lives.
