The data is brought by the Global Vaccination Alliance, whose CEO was received today by the President of the Republic. GAVI showed interest in supporting the country to improve its access rate. In his audience with the President of the Republic, the CEO of the Global Vaccination Alliance shared two pieces of news; one bad and one good. The bad thing is that Mozambique has poor rates of access to vaccination, especially for children.” Mozambique has one of the highest rates of children with zero doses, those children who have never even had a vaccine, and Mozambique is in the top 10 of countries with the rate We also recognize that, after COVID-19 and, with other challenges, such as climate change, we have a huge amount of work to do in Mozambique, until routine immunization for children is achieved”, revealed the CEO of Mozambique. GAVI, David Marlow. The good news is that GAVI will help the Ministry of Health to resolve this, especially because “the Ministry of Health has the country’s immunization program, but we help with the acquisition of vaccines and ensuring that they are here, in the contexts in which that are necessary, on the continent and, specifically, in Mozambique.” GAVI is a global platform that seeks money from donors who want to support countries like Mozambique in vaccination.
