Gavi reports immunising more than 1.2 billion children since 2000
By the end of 2024, Gavi-supported countries had immunised more than 1.2 billion unique children through routine systems since 2000. In the causal graph this event sets in motion Public and donor investment in immunization systems, a driver that strengthens First-dose measles vaccination coverage (global, MCV1) — an improving welfare path.
