"Geneva, 1 October 2024 – Over 1.3 million future deaths were averted in 2023
thanks to vaccination programmes supported by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This
achievement, which translates to over 2 lives saved every minute of the day, is
highlighted alongside historic progress in the battle to prevent cervical
cancer through HPV vaccinations and a record level of co-financing from the
countries Gavi supports in Gavi’s
2023 Annual Progress Report which is
published today.
With 69 million children immunised in 2023, the second highest number of
children immunised in one year ever, the report details that the number of
children that have now been protected with routine childhood vaccines since
Gavi was founded in 2000 has now exceeded 1.1 billion. The economic benefits of
these vaccinations to Gavi-supported countries since 2021 stands at US$ 52
billion, the report says.
Other highlights of 2023 for the Alliance include major progress against
cervical cancer, with 14 million girls vaccinated against HPV with Gavi
support. This number is greater than the previous ten years combined. Gavi has
now helped prevent over 600,000 future deaths from cervical cancer alone and is
on track to reach 86 million girls by the end of 2025."
