Plain-English Summary

The U.S. government would provide financial support to Gavi, an international organization that works to deliver vaccines and immunization programs to children and people in low-income countries around the world. This funding would help expand vaccination efforts in developing nations to prevent diseases and save lives. The bill affects American taxpayers who would fund this international health initiative, as well as millions of children and families in poorer countries who would gain access to vaccines.
