Happy 25th Birthday Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance 🎂. I am World Economic Forum where Gavi was launched 25 years ago as was announced in a session with my successor Dr Sania Nishtar representing The Alliance talking about its amazing accomplishments. Klaus Schwab was kind enough to come and make remarks as well

Really great to attend the launch of the new EU Pandemic Viral Vector Vaccine Facility at Bilthoven in the Netherlands. A partnership btw HERA, Serum Institute of India & Bilthoven, they will keep warm a facility with a capacity of >80 M doses to assure European Preparedness.

Very sorry that there is another outbreak of #Ebola Sudan in Uganda. But happy that there are 2160 doses of the IAVI rVSV Sudan Ebola Vax in country from last outbreak where it got there too late 2B tested. Hopefully vaccination can start soon on the 45 contacts & Hlth workers.

Very happy to see that the IAVI rVSV Ebola Sudan Vaccine Clinical trial has started today in Uganda. 45 contacts have been identified & 6 already have some symptoms so hopefully the vaccine will show efficacy in the World Health Organization (WHO) ring vaccine trial & then can be used in outbreak control.

Great to be attending the #WorldGovSummit in Dubai. Just spoke at their Ministerial meeting on XDGs for 2045 discussing the need for Prevention in Health Care and for Pandemics as critical pathways for all countries and the need for equitable provision of our preventive tools.

Had a good panel at the #WorldGovSummit where we discussed Innovative strategies for universal health coverage & reducing health inequalities. I focused on messages from The Lancet #Globalhealth2050 as well as the need to focus on prevention & pandemic preparedness

Tragic to see a child die of measles in the United States—an easily preventable disease. This is the first measles death in 10 years. Let’s make it the last… #vaccineswork

Amazing to see my good friend Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero, the Minister of Health of Uganda launch this program with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance help to vaccinate every infant for Malaria; the largest campaign to date observer.ug/news/uganda-or…

Cutting support for immunization and Gavi is not in the US best interest and certainly not good for the world My take in ⁦TIME⁩ Why Ending U.S. Aid for Gavi Would Be a Grave Threat | TIME time.com/7272078/trump-…

Short sighted & NOT in America’s best interest. The pandemic cost >$12T & killed >20M. The only reason we had COVID vax in 327d was we had already solved how 2make them by researching other coronavirus species. New pathogens are certain; pandemics are not nytimes.com/2025/03/26/hea…

We need strong, science-driven policies to #DefeatMeningitis by 2030 especially in Africa. Great to join SerumInstituteIndia at #IPNC2025 to spotlight progress on this front w. Drs Prasad Kulkarni (SII), Milagritos Tapia (UMSOM Center for Vaccine Dev. & Global Health) , and Abdulrazaq Habib (World Health Organization (WHO) SAGE). #vaccineswork

Tragic to see another unnecessary measles death in Texas. Measles, the most contagious infectious disease, requires high levels of vaccination for prevention. Tragic to see babies unprotected due to misinformation. #vaccineswork nytimes.com/2025/04/06/hea… via ⁦The New York Times

#Measles deaths in the US have been ultra low for years. But with 3 deaths so far in 2025, it appears the country may be on a different trajectory — unless vaccination promotion is amped up and vaccination uptake increases. statnews.com/2025/04/06/mea…

I caught up with the Times of India on vaccine access, malaria vaccines and the importance of funding Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Vaccine equity is critical in spite of the current political situation. #vaccineswork timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-ti…

Grt that Uganda’s MOH introduced the#MalariaVaccine into its childhood immunization programme! 1M+ children/year will gain access to added protection against this deadly disease. 19 countries are now offering malaria vaccine with more soon. #VaccinesWork gavi.org/news/media-roo…

Science gave humanity 10,000 extra days of life; 27 yrs of loving, creating & experiencing we wouldn't have had. Disrupting science funding isn't just bureaucratic reshuffling—it's gambling w/ future miracles. Stable funding = transformative breakthroughs shorturl.at/nlXyi

There are no words to describe how stupid this war on Science is! HIV vax research has helped us understand how the immune system works which will be critical to treating many common chronic diseases beyond HIV. Science must continue! nytimes.com/2025/05/30/hea… via ⁦The New York Times
