Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
H.Res. 848 is a congressional resolution expressing support for the United States' continued funding and partnership with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, an international public-private organization that delivers vaccines to children in low-income countries. The resolution highlights Gavi's accomplishments since 2000, including immunizing over 1.1 billion children and preventing approximately 18.8 million deaths in the world's poorest nations, while also reducing vaccine prices and expanding the global vaccine market. The resolution calls on the U.S. government to increase its financial commitment to Gavi during its 2026-2030 strategic period, particularly to support expansion of malaria vaccine programs and strengthen health systems in developing countries. The bill emphasizes that U.S. investment in global vaccine programs serves American interests by preventing disease outbreaks at their source and noting that vaccines provide over $54 in economic returns for every dollar invested. While this resolution does not authorize specific funding amounts or create binding obligations, it expresses congressional support for robust U.S. contributions to Gavi as a cost-effective global health security measure.
